Dog owners, it seems, are not the only people to have trouble with lamp posts when they

Dog owners, it seems, are not the only people to have trouble with lamp posts when they take their pets out for a walk. Everyone knows that dogs like to linger by each and every one that they pass. But a lesser known trait in animal behaviour is revealed by " Skinny" the boa constrictor. When his owners, Christina, 9, and three-year-old Aline Mallett take him out walking on a lead - or should it be slithering? - Skinny heads for the nearest lamp post and latches tightly on to it. September 1970 P000527

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming vintage photograph, we witness a delightful twist on the common struggle between dog owners and lamp posts. It appears that our canine friends are not the only ones who find these towering structures irresistible during their daily walks. Meet "Skinny" an extraordinary boa constrictor whose peculiar behavior has caught the attention of his young owners, Christina and Aline Mallett. As they take Skinny out for a stroll, instead of slithering aimlessly around like most snakes would, Skinny surprises everyone by making a beeline towards the nearest lamp post. With impressive agility, he wraps himself tightly around it, as if claiming it as his own territory. The image captures this unexpected bond between reptile and inanimate object with both humor and curiosity. This snapshot from September 1970 reminds us that animal behavior can often surprise us in the most endearing ways. It showcases the unique friendship formed between humans and their pets, regardless of species or conventional expectations. The innocence radiating from Christina's nine-year-old face juxtaposed with her three-year-old sister's wonderment adds to the overall charm of this moment frozen in time. So let us revel in this heartwarming scene where boundaries blur, laughter ensues, and unlikely friendships blossom amidst everyday encounters on neighborhood streets.
