Larry is a beautiful chow chow that was being walked by his owner. She kindly complied with my request to photograph him. After snapping 4 or 5 shots I thanked her and got up to leave and noticed that no less than five people had descended on us with their smart phone cameras in like buzzards zeroing in on roadkill. Some were posing with him and taking selfies and other goofy shots. I felt a little bad for starting all of the commotion (but I think Larry and even his owner were secretly loving the attention).
What I learned in taking this photo: Cute dog plus photographer with professional camera equals iPhone rush.
A beautiful Chow ( that's what we all them in America - I kind of like chow-chow better though). Mother was afraid of Chows and wouldn't let me pet them, it took me a long time to realize they are sweet, intelligent dogs. Larry is awesome!
This is fabulous. What a gorgeous dog. Course, you know me and dogs.... They are a magnet for me. Gotta FAV, Ron!! Like your comment about professional camera and cell phone rush. I've seen it happen too.
Great portrait of a beautiful dog. I've heard they can be temperamental but they are the cutest thing in the world when they're puppies. They look like little bears. Even cuter than Boo Boo Bear The Dog.
@salza Thanks Sally - I'll bet they are a handful when it comes to grooming. I gave thought to taking in a Samoyed until I learned about the challenges in keeping them groomed. If it was easy I guess everyone would do it.
We used to have a chow chow cross when we were kids. Rufus was the most beautiful, placid dog you could ever wish for. And yes, he retained his blue tongue. Just like a lizard.
found the flamingo, yay..
