At the risk of being redundant - I just had to paint this basset hound. I could do it all day. Dogs make me happy. When I'm away from home, taking pictures in other cities, I long to pet and talk to everyone's dog. It seems to ease my separation anxiety - missing my own two boys.
My observation has been that most dogs
notice me taking pictures, unlike most people. They're just doing their job.
I passed by this sweet guy in Union Square Park, in lower Manhattan.
