Description
Warm afternoon, flies buzzing everywhere, and Bill, Mandy and I were hanging out with our friends Dennis, Peri and Jobu.
This is Jobu, a hybrid wolf.
Let him sniff your hand, but don't pet him.

I would like to hug that furry one! haahaa This is a great shot! Contrast of the grass to the fur is so nice!
Your photo shows Jobu to be a powerhouse of stored energy. He has his eyes on you as I would expect a predator from the animal kingdom would. Light wasn't in your favor in the shady part of Jobu's yard but I like the way his light colored fur picks up the ambient light that is there and even magnifies it. Excellent image:*
Wonderful capture he looks so content and at peace
What an interesting creature: a lot closer to his original ancestors than, say...a chihuahua! What a graceful creature, even at rest with flies buzzing around. When I look at some dogs, especially the larger, graceful ones, I often find myself wondering if they were (in some way) the basis for the Mechs in Gregory Benford's "Galactic Center" novels...they were graceful things...a machine intelligence, completely alien, and hostile in ways that were not your average, workaday science fiction cliche. It's odd how looking at a wolf-derived companion animal (of which petting is not allowed) reminds me of those lethal, graceful, Microwave-spewing aliens with clever ways of destroying life on various planets. Funny the directions my mind goes into...especially when faced with really good photographic art. What a creature! What a shot of the creature! You do him justice!
Wow a beautiful animal! Looks comfortable- thanks for sharing! :)

Great shot!
I don't think I would trust him sniffing either....handsome wolf-dog, though.
lovely portrait, very nice dog
Excellent portrait ,but this dog is very...frightening....No? Have a nice day Tara
Handsome looking beast, but I'd rather have a Bichon Frise...or something a lot smaller and more approachable.
So handsome! I once had a firewood supplier who had three of these, and they were quite friendly; they loved being petted!
He's beautiful! What a lovely looking doggie! Bet he feels so soft! Great shot! Rob
A very intense look in his eyes and you caught it so well!!
Nice capture!!
How nice "pet" :))
A magnificent animal but I'll hang with Mandy thank you very much.
Great looking dog there I would always want to pet even when someone told me not too I almost got eat up when I was a little girl by doing so I think then I learned my lesson but so hard not to want to pet a dog Hugs Susan Love the name too
Handsome fella!!!
You can definitely sense the wildness in him, that he hasn't been completely tamed as most dog breeds have over generations. A handsome animal...
