100 Canine Strangers : No. 2 : Bruno by phil_howcroft

100 Canine Strangers : No. 2 : Bruno

This is Bruno a Dachshund.

I met Bruno at Ashbourne and District Camera Club, Derbyshire on Wednesday evening.

I was the guest speaker at the club, I was doing my "100 Strangers" talk .

Bruno was attending the talk with his human.

He goes to the club (apart from when it's competition evenings as he can fidget a bit and club competitions are not the place to fidget).

I saw him enter the clubroom (at a church hall) before the talk commenced and I immediately said hello to him and his human.

I asked for a photo and we went into the kitchen as the light was a little brighter

His owner said "biscuits" to get his attention , which was the same keyword as my previous dog stranger !

He is about 5 and is a "covid dog" although his human sort of adopted him from someone else

Oh and he was impeccably behaved too ....

The audience raised a smile when I showed my last stranger shot to end my talk , it was a man , Richard, holding a Dachshund ! Although the story was a poignant one to end the night ...
See discussion on 365 about the photo I showed in my talk of another dachshund from 2017..

Great viewpoint to get those adorable eyes - and what a poignant story from 2017

This is one of my favourite species of dogs. Their big eyes seem to be talking to you, don't they? Will have to check the site you have indicated.

Great and beautiful image.
I’m not sure what a “100 strangers” talk is though.
