We've seen better days...

Sitting in a bus, I can vaguely hear the chatter of two old ladies opposite of me, the nice granny type. As I look out the window, I see a couple of sixty year olds with a dog trotting behind them.
What caught my attention was the general picture they gave: two unkept people walking an old little mongrel who looked dirty and had problems walking. The thought crossed my mind that the old saying is right: dogs do resemble their masters.
"Oh boy! This dog has also seen better days!", one of the old, rich looking ladies exclaims.
I couldn't help but wonder if they were referring to the dog alone, to his masters as well, or to themselves...
