Four-Legged

"I would rather see the portrait of a dog that I know, than all the allegorical paintings they can show me in the world."
Samuel Johnson

This is a portrait of Sia, who lives with my son’s family. I like the way,
when the light is right, her black coat shines.

    A very cool photo of Sia. I too like how the light glows on her back. Her eyes speak volume too! xo

    What a look! This photo is nice because it looks like an old portrait of early twentieth ... I don't know exactly why I think that ... I really like!

    It's an amazing portrait but she does look kind of sad to me and also a little haunted...like the black dog on my back

    Very special this photo, it's like a paint and the dog's like a "mannequin''

    We think Sia is a mutt in the finest sense. We got her from a rescue when she was 4-5 months old. We don't know much more about her other than she is a sweetheart with a heathy bark.

    We're very lucky my dad took this wonderful picture of her. Looks like it belongs in a royal hunting lodge or something!
