A Boxer Dog Welcome

Arnold holds it's annual carnival weekend this weekend

It's a fun weekend for all the family (or so it says on the posters)

This Boxer dog was waiting to be judged in the "not too serious" set of dog competitions occurring today.

As I bent down to take a shot of him he pushed his nose directly into my camera.

Hard to photograph and compose but I think it works as a high impact shot

The clown of the dog world! He looks happy - laughing actually!

[Kerri]

Cute shot

[Annie D]

he wanted to make sure you got his good side
