adorable !!!! those eyes !!!

Animals have such a poetic grace to them, and you've captured it here! I love the mood of this shot and the gleam in the eye. I've been reading a lot of Ursula K. LeGuin lately, and I'm having an immensely wonderful time revisiting Earthsea, yet again...I do that on occasion. I bring this up, because she has such wonderful passages involving animals acting like animals and yet, interacting with humans (wizards mostly) in distinctly unexpected ways. Animals, in the Earthsea Cycle (like wizards and dragons) speak The Language of the Making which is the language everything that exist either speaks or responds to. There was a mage named Dulse, who kept chickens. When he discovered that he had to go and try to do something important at the epicenter of an earthquake (it was beginning to have contractions, and he felt the impending labor pains!) he had to tell his chickens that he was going away and that they had to forage on their own for a while, but that there was a fox in the area. My favorite passage in the story is: "Have you anything to tell me?" Dulse asked them. Brown Bucca, his favorite, shook herself and said her name a few times. The others said nothing. I thought of that passage when I saw this image, because you've obviously captured a particular someone saying a particular something, rather casually, I might add...but then those four-legged people-creatures always say things casually, and with the kind of elegance you've captured here! I'm more of a cat person, but I can definitely see a similar elegance in the canine people you hang around with, and I have to say it's quite a good thing to see! This is superb!

AWW - such a great shot. Really a beautiful dog.

Love is in the eye Andrea, he just needs you to let him know all the time.

Sooooooo perfect and he's a lucky one to know you.

Such a wonderful capture.

There is so much love in those eyes and what a great capture.

Mum... are you watching me?

Aw those eyes are so sweet and innocent and full of love. What a beautiful capture Andrea.

What is there not to love?

He's handsome and knows how to work it, doesn't he? LOL

That really is a "I need to be your favourite" kind of shot. Boris is so jealous, he sits on my shoulder and pushes Foggy away and gives me the same eyes as this!

I love this! Fritz is such a cutie, and he's certainly working it for all its worth! Adorable creature. :)

Oh well, he looks very keen, a silent lover! A great catch this look, Andrea, it speaks.

And who could deny those eyes anything? A wonderful candid capture of a dog in love.

I love dogs ... there is just so much emotion in their eyes. Great capture.

Lovely shot, what an expression.

What a fabulous pic of Fritz!!

I love the reflection in His right eye. He seeks your attention. Superb capture Andrea. God Bless.
