Ignoring the camera and the lobby

Sahraa still hates cameras and does everything she can to avoid being photographed. We believe it was because she was shot with an air gun while a puppy in Kuwait, from which she still has several pellets in her body, and simply doesn’t like things pointed at her, whether a camera or a cell phone. I guess she can be forgiven for that. She also got her license today and is now a legal resident of the District of Columbia and can take advantage of the dog parks here.

Only dogs licensed there can use the dog parks. Very unfriendly.

That is the same reaction I get from Charlie when he sees the flash! LOL! Great capture of a fleeting moment. Voted.

Great profile. I can understand her fears after what she has been through. V

She certainly has a wary expression, and who can blame her. Beautiful Sahraa! V
