Escaped guard dog- to my delight!

2 Maremmas live on Middle Island to guard our little penguins. However one escaped today while I was at the bay and had a delightful time going backwards & forwards to the island- I too was having a delightful time photographing him! There were so many fun shots it was hard to choose just one- such a dilemma! PS- one of the handlers soon arrived and returned him to the island (can walk across at low tide) and repaired the fence!

Lovely photo - He definitely looks pleased with himself. :) Particularly love the gulls in the foreground escaping.

What a joyful day he must have had! When I let my dogs loose on the beach you can just read the joy in how they run.

Great shot -- looks like you caught him defying gravity for a second, plus overall, very nice composition.

Cool shot, he looks so happy. :)

Great composition, Denise. He's definitely the point of focus but the birds in the foreground really add to the photo as a whole.

Awesome capture. I like the perfect framing with the seagulls. A fav.

He is floating along with happiness at his great escape. Cool composition with the foreground gulls taking off.

Great capture, he seems to be enjoying his freedom, the gulls make a good frame
