Almost all Greyhounds, in my area, are rescued from US and Mexican racing tracks, this one is no exception. She must have been injured because she had a slight limp.

Once, I tried to adopt a greyhound from the local greyhound rescue. I was denied because I was not good enough! The two ladies that interviewed us where shocked and outraged that I wouldn’t let the dog …

Henry is a French Bulldog. He’s small, short, compact and pretty heavy, for a French Bulldog, at 38 pounds/17 kilos.

With his short legs, a big and a heavy chest, in the water, he would drown. The problem is that Henry loves to swim at the lake, in the sea, or a river… It doesn’t matter to him, he likes …

He was just walking by. There is some pitbull in him so many people were afraid of him. He was so calm and relaxed…

This pitbull is almost all black, except for the couple of white spots.

It’s very difficult to photograph black dogs. By definition a black dog is black. Black is not a colour, black is a lack of colour. This …

This Golden Retriever is going to retrieve some kind of ball with a rope. He’s running at full speed… Normally, Golden Retrievers do not chase like that, they are retrievers. I wonder if he’s a cross?

Shawn does the yoyo. He’s from Calgary—Alberta but he prefers to live in Vancouver—BC. He lives in Vancouver, then goes back to Calgary where he spends a few month, his family is still in Calgary, and … comes back to Vancouver, just like a yoyo.

Shawn was looking for a pitbull and found Jasper.

Jasper is a year and half old brindle pitbull. Jasper can look …

This was in on a nice sunny warm spring day. If a person wears sunglasses on sunny days, shouldn’t a dog also wear sunglasses in the sun?

This dog wasn’t too crazy about it.

When she noticed me and turned his head quickly, the glasses fell off on one side. It quickly became uncomfortable and her owner had to put the glasses back in place …

This is Henri (that’s the French Henry with an i at the end), a Basset Hound. I like Basset Hounds. My own ‘beast’ is a furry Basset Hound. When Henri stands looking at me, he really looks like Droopy.

Droopy was a cartoon character created by Tex Avery in the 1940s for MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) in Hollywood. Droopy was voiced mostly by …
