Dogs

This is what I call Dodoïte’s ‘Dumb Corgi’ look. That’s when he’s happy. It’s just like a Corgi, except for his ears that are not straight up. Many people think that he’s an Australian Sheppard because of his ears.

Who’s faster? Is this dog running faster than the dragon boat crew behind?

On a short run, it’s not even a contest, the dog is much faster. Any dog, even a sausage dog aka a Dachshund, can out-accelerate a dragon boat. A Whippet or a Greyhound can easily out-accelerate a Porsche or a Ferrari. A Greyhound can reach 50 kilometers per hour in 3 steps.

Many people jog on the weekend, especially on the Vancouver Seawall.

Often, I see people jogging with their dog but with two Huskies? Never before.

Actually Huskies are great for jogging, since they love to run in a group. Their only problem is the heat… but this was in the early spring and in the morning of a fairly cloudy day, as you can see from the shadow underneath the dogs and the joggers.

In the doggy world, there’s always a boss. Whenever a person comes near and interact, the dog will reevaluate: who’s the boss? Whenever another dog comes near and interact, the dog will reevaluate: who’s the boss?

The Bullitt bicycle is a cargo bike that is made in Denmark and is sold in town at only one specialty bicycle shop here in Vancouver, BC. It’s supposed to be the fastest cargo bike in the world.

The Golden Retriever is the cutest option available for the bike.

Normally for almost all of my dog and cat photography, I’m either kneeling or laying down on my belly to be at the same level as the cat or the dog.

Buddha is a “shortie” and he knows that. Unlike almost all the other small dogs, he climbs and finds his way around to be either at eye level or above the people. That’s one of the ways of showing his dominance.

This dog is so happy to be going wherever he is going. I don’t know where this dog is going, but he is happy. This dog looks like a happy dog.

Often, my dog is a happy dog. How do I know when my dog is happy?

This is Maddie. Maddie is a Coon. She is the ‘famous’ Maddie the Coon. The photograph was made by Theron Humphrey and his websites are https://maddieonthings.com and https://www.thiswildidea.com/maddie. Theron Humphrey is a photographer and he used to post photographs of Maddie on a daily basis. This photograph is at: https://maddieonthings.com/post/76343456306/this-is-what-happens-when-maddie-goes-grocery shopping.

This photo is amazing! It’s not just Maddie the Coon that is amazing but let’s examine the situation.

Photographing black dogs can be a real challenge, and here’s why:

• The Camera’s Color Conundrum: Cameras are designed to see everything in terms of middle gray, which means they’ll change a black dog to a gray dog. With snow we have the same issue; the cameras want to turn bright, white snow into a dull gray.

Koda is a Husky and German Shepherd mix. He has the eyes and the build of the Husky but the fur, ears and face belong to a German Shepherd. It must be cold for him in the fall, winter and spring. Does he have a double coat of fur to protect him? I hope so but I don’t know. I didn’t try to pet him. Never approach dogs in the arctic without the owner being present and guiding the dog. It would be too dangerous…

Take a look at his blue piercing eyes. This is not a relaxed dog, but it’s a dog paying attention and ready to become “on guard” if needed.
