What is it about this face that makes me want to hug a dog repeatedly and cart him home, tell him stories at bedtime, put a touring cap on his head, then take the beast for walks along the shore all the while dutifully cleaning up what has got to be man-size excrement? I’m not sure.

The dog looks looks like he’s carrying the weight of the world on his soldiers. Put that expression on a human and you’d probably hear me say, “Here we go. Drama!” Put it on this dog, and I want to go have drinks with him and hear the latest news of the day.

In reality, you know this dog is probably thinking, “Hey, Dude.  Do you have a comfy chair at home?  Let’s go try it out. Bring some ham.”

I took this at the annual Dog Jog event at the Richmond SPCA on March 15th, 2013. Whole lotta fun.
