4. That's a beautiful dog. Wished that I knew about loving dogs.

Too many of them bit me when I was growing up.

Ask a friend or even a stranger to spend time with one.

9. Great photo, populistdriven!

He is a very beautiful dog. Very intense expression. Perhaps he sees a squirrel to chase?

he gets a much more serious look at squirrels

13. Brings back Happy/Sad memories

Almost a dead ringer for our Beauceron, Tally, who we had to finally have put down two years ago. I've been a dog owner all of my life (63 now) and that was the smartest, gentlest dog I've owned. Had her 20+ years.

Beautiful portrait.
