THE THIN LADY WITH HER DOG

I would like to draw your attention to the very gaunt lady in the two photographs here.  She has an equally emaciated dog slung over her left shoulder as accessory.  She should be staying quite near to my house as she can be seen wandering with her dog during the day time.  I am guessing that she lives with her family in the housing estate next to mine.
Story has it that she was formerly a teacher who was jilted by her lover.  She became unsound after that and likes to roam.  Such a sad story, right?
