Chloe - Saved From The Mill - (view larger)

Last week I went for a walk in one of our most beautiful City Parks,

Jackson's Park. I was hoping to find some good Fall Colour and try

out a Canon 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens to see if I liked it's

performance. There were many folks/families walking, jogging, and

spending the day in the Park. I met this lovely woman who had such

a cute pup. As we talked I learned that she had only had 'Chloe' for 2

weeks. She was a 'Rescue Dog', who had been residing in a home

with MANY dogs/puppies. The owner could no longer take care of

them, and the son was trying. He could not handle it. Apparently

Chloe, a Maltese Terrier, had to be shaved quite short as her fur was

very matted. All the females in the home had been impregnated, the

young puppies just after their first 'heat', including Chloe. She is only

about a year old. It sounded like she had been poorly treated,

besides having to have puppies at such a young age. I would never

have known. She was friendly and happy, and had already won over

the heart of her new owner. I was lucky to capture her in this pose,

unfortunately I could not figure out how to clone out the 'bag', but at

least the woman is a responsible dog owner. I hope she is loved the

way she is deserved to be loved. I think she looks very happy in this

capture. (many thanks for any visits, most sincerely, Gail)

Great shot! Best, Tina

Gail,

  Beautiful shot with wonderful colors.  Take care, Patsy

I like how he looks,alert and ready to play, with nice fur details and knowing how playful is this snapshot is well caught with bag too,yes is possible to clone out this but the puppy is same.Nice subject,all my best Gail.

Very cute and well captured

Thanks Tony, glad you enjoyed this 'little girl'.

I started trying to clone out the bag, and it just got me frustrated, so I figured it was part of the 'story', dogs being dogs ;-). She was cute and so friendly considering she was only 2 weeks out of such bad conditions. Thankyou for your visit and comments.

Many thanks Patsy, glad you enjoyed this little pup, I couldn't resist trying to get at least one capture.

Sincre thanks Tina for your kind comment and encouragement, glad you enjoyed the image.

Interesting story, cute and happy dog that ready to pose...

Thankyou Grigoriy, she was a sweetheart and her 'sad' story but now 'happy' really touched my heartstrings.

Beautiful capture of this one Gail! Like the detail in the white fur and the eye contact. Background sets the dog off well. Regards

A very nice and lovely shot with beautiful lighting, Gail!

With best regards,

Ruud.

Lovely capture of an adoring little friend, with perfect details (like always).

 

Love, Ulla

What a remarkable shot, Gail--and absolutely astonishing on "large"!

 

Gosh, this is much better than this week's dog shot on the PoW forum, in my opinion.
