The Middle Ages (48) : Walking the rat…..

This series is an attempt to illustrate how life was going on in the Middle Ages.

A leash didn't yet exist in these times.
So, if you wanted to take your pet out for a walk, you had to carry it always with you.
As in the neck, for example.......!

Photographed at medieval festival of Castle ‘Opheylissem’ (Hélécine, Belgium)

PS : The rat in the photo is alive and real, no plush animal.
