Bullmastiff in Low Key. by jankoos

Bullmastiff in Low Key.

I decided that Rhoda would be a good subject for an attempt at low-key. Her face is black and she was in front of the window - it was dark outside. I did take a piece of white paper up on the window to eliminate my reflection but her large head obscured it anyway.

For my son @vitamink - this is also an alternate word for the letter 'B' for our alphabet series.
Woof-woof ♥♥♥ !:)

@nanderson @taffy - thanks Nancy and Taffy. She is very sweet - more shy than Huckleberry - he is outgoing - but she hangs out and observes for a while before greeting.
