Arctic Mark in Stanley Park

Playing With Fire

RCMP Officer Laurie Smith risks his life (and limbs) by attempting to "play" with Lasse, eliciting the total respect of the nervous crowd. Just remember to always let him win at Kong tug-of-war, because Lasse does NOT like to lose. Besides, if he lets go of the Kong, who knows what (or who)else he might decide to latch onto? Did I mention that I was VERY nervous standing nearby taking pictures, with no electrified fence between me and Lasse, and a healthy dose of skepticism about Officer Hicks' reassurances that Lasse was not going to go beserk from all of the flashes.
