I think that most parents take lots
of pictures of their children and especially of their first child. I mention this because
the dog running above, a pedigree Blue Great Dane, has had, I am quite sure, more
photographs taken of itself that your first child ever did! You can see the dog's life
story in pictures on the interesting website of Vuokko and Esa Tienhaara here and even see some of the trophies
and ribbons the dog has won. The dog was bred in Norfolk, New York, but his owners now
live with him in Finland. The dogs name is "WYSIWYG Luke Skywalker v Longo", but
he is known to his friends as "Luke" and his pal running after him is named
"Obi". The original image, taken when Luke was 15-16 weeks old, can be seen here and appears on this site with the Tienhaaras' (and Luke's!) kind
permission ~ woof, woof!
