Sun, sea, and a dog

I watched this man play with his two dogs on the beach and thought about how those dogs must have a feeling of freedom and satisfaction. Does it get better than that for a dog? They don't have money issues, relationship problems, work difficulties...I felt their joy for a moment.
instant fave Jerry!!!! just beautiful!

...you got that summed up well in this image.. its a dogs' life - yeah right. Possibly beaten only by the life of a cat?

August 8th, 2011  
awww gorgeous shot, i don't think it could get any better. Just 10 minutes ago we walked my daughters puppy up the road on her leash for the first time and she was so excited, didn't know where to look or sniff first!!!
August 8th, 2011  
Great capture.
August 8th, 2011  
Gosh... what to say to your comment about the picture... I know I came home tonight very happy and mine had been in their "den" for a time while I had some personal time. They sure were happy I was there to feed them and walk them. I got all sorts of love because truthfully while they were greatful I fed them they really wanted me to play with them! CeCe was head butting me for at least an hour while I did some paperwork ( I think she is secretly a cat ). As for this lovely Lab you captured a very special moment in its life and the man who owns it gets to go him with the gift that keeps on giving! >; ) great capture Jerry... thanks for sharing the insight as well, it so true they have "no stress"...
