It was a hard day

I like 'people photos' more than most others and this one is IMHO excellent! Everything about it (man and dog both dozing, the intimacy of the paw on the shoulder) show that they're both totally in synch. If I'm not mistaken, the dog in the photo is a "Blindenführhund" - a guide dog for a blind person. By implication, the man sleeping has a visual disability and this is his guide dog. This makes the photo (and the relationship between the man and dog) very special.

Off topic, but I do voluntary work as an amateur photographer. I live in the Netherlands. One of my recent interviews/photoshoots was with 2 people who had serious hearing disabilities. One of them had a personal 'guide dog' too.

My congratulations on this probably unique photo!
