This is a piece I took of my childhood dog circa 2008. I was in 11th grade, put sunglasses on her and was surprised how she let them stay on for so long. It's amazing how much loss you can feel when you lose a pet you grow up with. I will always miss her, but this is a wonderful take of her spirit. Always happy, loving, positive, and sweet. I find it a great way to live by.
This was taken on a Nikon D200, 18-200mm lens in Seattle, WA. It was in the middle of summer for me between 11th and 12th grade. Hence the Seattle sunlight.
