Just like my little Shih Tzu puppy, well the new family member since my precious Tiny (also Shih Tzu)he was put to sleep short ago, he was only one year old, but give me a life time LOVE! I agree with Georgias comment who can live without a dogs love!
Very tender and cute shot! They both look like they are on guard.
People sometimes tell me that my dog and I are two sides of the same coin, but I am not quite sure what they mean. I think you have captured it here!!! Nice Work!
