Visiting my family in  Kamionka Wielka  on 15th September 2019 I bump into this stray Terrier ( called Ponczek ).It was a shame I could not get him in my hand luggage....He is still looking for a home.....Below - my family in Tenczyn have a number of cows and it was my duty to tether them and later take them for milking.I did my best to keep my hands warm.....14th September 2019.Piotr PIETRUSIEWICZ
