brilliant character study of a pedigree dog
Sam, I'm looking foreward to see your coming portrait photos.
human or animal.
although it's no easy : surpass yourself, Sam!
GREAT!
I love color photos,
butfor this picture bw ist a must!
Poor dog! Left out in the breeze with no pants on and a bad hair-cut! Where's the owner so I can shave a Chelsea-cut on his ass? See how he likes it! Lol!

@ N
exactly my first impression :
the bus is late and he's a little bit annoyed.
such beautiful people should'nt be forced to drive means of local transport but have a car of their own, with a chauffeur!
but...he's an animal!
we should'nt think here in human scales, should we?
;-))
@ Sam
two very very very good photos!!
Sam,
Oh, this is my neighbor's dog. He never puts him on leash. He is so adoreable, his name is Joker.
