Prince, the Dog of the Day
Name: Prince
Age: Seven years old
Gender: Male Breed: Dog
Home: Kentucky, USA
 
   This is my dog Prince. He is a seven-year-old, small mixed breed. We live in Kentucky. I instantly fell in love with Prince the first time I saw him. He was so anxious to get in the truck and go home with me. The reason he is so special to me is because he adores me. From the moment we met, he has been at my side (or under my feet). He is very communicative and very sweet. He lets me know how much he loves me everyday, unconditionally, no matter what is going on. He is so intelligent, has attitude for miles, and I swear he has a sense of humor. I know he will be on my side even if I am at odds with the rest of the world.

    This picture was taken on one of our camping trips. Prince has never liked the camera, and usually turns his back to me when I try to sneak in a shot of him. On this particular day, I was determined to get a close up shot of him. I lay on the ground, camera aimed, and waited patiently for him to look my way. He is a smart one, and a quick glance to check if I was still aiming at him was all I got. His stubborn streak quickly rubbed off on me, and I lay in that propped position determined to get a clear shot. I could tell he was as annoyed with me as I was with him because we were both huffing and puffing our grievances. Then finally, with my hand quivering from holding the position, Prince suddenly turned to me and looked me dead in the eye. I snapped the picture right before jumped to his feet. It wasn't until I got the roll developed that I realized he had the last laugh on me. As you can see in the photo, he stuck his tongue out at me, ruining my perfectly good close up shot. Gotta love him.
