EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph taken in the 1960s, five-year-old Gary Mead makes his unique and unforgettable journey to school in Plumstead, SE London. Dressed in his crisp school uniform and wearing a cap, Gary is seen sitting on the back of his loyal and large Pyrenean Mountain Dog as they make their way down the pavement. With his sandals and socks peeking out from under his trousers, Gary looks focused and determined as he holds onto the railings for balance. The bond between boy and dog is evident as they share this special moment, a daily routine that has become a cherished part of their history. The image captures the innocence and simplicity of a bygone era, where such an extraordinary sight would not be uncommon in the streets of London. As they navigate the half-mile route to school, Gary and his dog become a familiar sight to the local community, bringing joy and wonder to the faces of passersby. This photograph is a testament to the deep connection between a child and his animal companion, and the memories it evokes are both heartwarming and nostalgic. The Pyrenean Mountain Dog, a powerful and majestic breed, seems to understand the importance of this moment and carries Gary with gentle care and devotion. The photograph, taken in the 1960s, is a reminder of a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of childhood were often accompanied by the unwavering companionship of a beloved pet.
