Now that is a trusting and loving look.

I think eyes really do talk. Adorable! Best wishes :)

Shadow said...

the eyes say it all. i can stare into my pups eyes and get lost in their total adoring unconditional love.

The eyes say everything. As much as they're thankful for a good owner. We're just as thankful for the best friend in them.
My dog loves me just as much even during my dysfunctional days!!! *LOL*

Awwww, he's just asking to be petted with those big sweet eyes.

I know that look and I melt every time. We have rescued 5 shihtzu's. We kept 2 and found homes for the others. Dogs are the best!

Have a fun weekend. After this week I am ready for some relaxation and fun.

I don't know how much longer we can go without a dog. It will be a rescue, I expect.

We have so much to be thankful for... you can see the thankfulness in the dogs eyes... great post!

Sandy said...

Now, that's the look of love...
Mine's up, too.

What a great capture!! Anyone who says that dogs don't smile.. just isn't paying attention. I've never seen a dog more happy.

Teena in Toronto said...

What a gorgeous dog!

I played too :)

Maureen Hayes said...

There's a reason why they call em "man's best friend!" - a wonderful representation of thankfulness!

Mine is up at:

Another great image, Mojo, and it looks like you had a great model to work with. Doesn't it make photography so much fun when you have such great subjects?

PastormacsAnn said...

I'm always amazed at the ability of a dog to smile.

Wonderful choice for our "thankful theme" this week!

David Edward said...

i like the juxtaposition of dog / human hand. like he is inhaling or exhaling her.

I have a dog in my PhotoHunt today, too, but he's just sitting off to the side.

Jackie said...

Oh my those eyes and that face really get you. Great work Mojo.

A little off topic here but I didn't realize that Suzanne and you were friends too.

Of course I only knew her through her blog and many, many exchanges....but, I do miss her so.

I hope you are having a great weekend!!:-)

Tarolino said...

That certainly is a thankful gaze if I ever saw one. Lovely pic.

I too have an award for you in my blog.

Jackie said...

I just read your comment Mojo...oh me too..me too my friend.

Photo Cache said...

Who wouldn't be thankful with a loyal companion? Enjoy the weekend.

This shot says just about everything you need to know about why I have a dog! (a rottie mix too)

The Quintessential Magpie said...

I'm a sucker for a dog every single time. I miss mine more than I can say. Loved this! Love his scarf, too. He's definitely NOT disposable! :-)

Man's best friend is always almost more loyal than man himself:) That's a very trusting look he is giving.
