Description

While visiting a Nursery about 2 years ago, we came across this wagon and four dogs with a lady pulling it. These dogs only had eyes for their owner, it was very noticeable that they adored her and of course we had to walk over and say hello and after talking to the lady pulling the wagon we found out the story about the dogs... It seems as though the lady went to the shelter to get a dog and these4 were in the pin together. So, she decided on which one she would take home, however, when one dog was removed, the other three started to cry. Well, when she realized that they were distressed about being separated, what else could she do but take them all home. They showed their gratitude by looking at her with those thankful eyes.

Excellent composition Merna.

What really captures my attention is that three of the dogs are looking at the owner but one has his focus on you.

That makes this photo great. #9909127

Hi Irene,

It was really a special moment to see how happy these adopted dogs were. They are very fortunate. I could not decide if that one beautiful dog was looking at me, or off in space. I would love to think he wanted to be my friend. I hope all is well with you.
