Me, too! It is SO good to see you are back with us again! I love your animal images and have missed them. This shot is just excellent because it reminds us how important pets are to our mental well-being and how they are truly our "best friends". #6696612

Outstanding image Pat; on that evokes strong feelings.
The placement of the dog in relation to the boy is excellent.
The profile view and blurred background are just right for a powerful portrait. #6697175

Aimee C. Eisaman November 04, 2008

I immediately felt the sadness of this shot as soon as I looked at it! I wondered what could make the boy look so terribly forelorn. After reading your description I understood! An amazingly powerful image Pat and you have presented it in a beautiful form! So glad you have you back with us in the Phellos club so we can see fantastic, touching images such as this one! #6706062

Hi everyone, I was wondering Aimee why the little boy looked so forlorn.

Graham took this shot at dog training, the little boy was there with his parents yet he looked so lonely with his puppy.

Thank you everyone for stopping by and leaving a comment. I really appreciate your kind words!
