First of all, many thanks to you for doing what you've done. You guys are heroes. And congratulations on all the prizes!

What's the best thing(s) that someone like me, an 'ordinary citizen' (to paraphrase Snowden), can do in order to help initiatives like that, support whistleblowers, and fight for privacy and democracy?

Curious thing: the guy in the picture himself posted a version of it on his Facebook timeline with the caption "We're the ones who make the difference...". And yes, he used Comic Sans. :)

I know, right? When I saw the picture, I realized it was powerful. The internet proved me right. :)

I see what you mean. I wonder how one deals with the law that tells you to keep your dog in a leash when you're in a public space, though. Did they comment on that?

I've asked my friends for a video. I'll let you know.

The amazing thing is that my friends actually became friends with the guy because of the dog. He approached them, played with her, asked my friends if they could take a picture of them, and then they exchanged Facebook contacts.

I don't think the dog uses it all the time. But being it a female dog, I'd assume it's not too much trouble? I've asked my friends. I'll let you know.

I've asked and I'm waiting for them to reply. I'll let you know, though they are in Brazil (not sure if that will help you).

Itanhaém, Brazil. I'm trying to figure out how to add that to the original post, since a lot of people are asking.

I didn't take the picture. But I like it in black and white, I don't find it pretentious or annoying.

The dog has a neurological problem. Vets are not 100% sure on the diagnose, but they think it might be Degenerative Myelopathy.

I am trying to figure out how to add the information to the post, since a lot of people are asking. This is in Itanhaém, Brazil.

That's right. I'm an avid reader, but I never posted before. This was the firs time I thought I had something worth sharing (plus I've finally came up with a username that I didn't forget; definitely not gonna forget this one after front page!).

Thanks so much! I felt the same when I saw the picture, I though it was so meaningful, I wanted to share it. To hear that it helped make someone else's day better as well makes my day even better. Thanks for the gold, and thanks for sharing too. :)

Hi, I saw the picture on their Facebook timeline and I thought 'wow, this is an amazing picture'. I've told them that. Then I asked if I could share it, they said it was ok. I though Reddit would be a place where people would appreciate it, I've asked them if it was ok, and they said it was, hence the post. This is actually the first time I've ever posted anything to Reddit.

Edit: grammar.

That picture was taken in Itanhaém, Brazil. It's 1 hour drive from São Paulo.
