I figured it's time to let the puppy lovers have a thread.

Beware, although this starts off sweet, it turns evil...

So if you happen to own a Canon 7D camera, I guess it's mandatory to have a dog dash towards you, catching him with 8 frames per second. This is Candy, the dog of a just married daughter:

I'll post some more from those sequences in a bit.

Handsome!

As my neighbor says about the way Duke runs, "That'll put the fear into the UPS man!" Duke is a gentle dog, but he is REAL enthusiastic when he runs. When I take Duke to Al's house, I let him run off-leash with Al's shepherd-pit-bull mix, and whenever some low-lifes cruise by slowly looking around, Al will wave and smile and say under his breath "Take a good look, boys. Big, scary dogs!"

Our region has experienced an increase in burglaries and home-invasions in the last few years as prescription-drug abuse and meth use has risen, so it's a good idea to have a prominent disincentive to such crimes.
 
Thanks Turbo

Here is a small selection. I just happened to shoot them this evening, unaware of this thread. The dog loved to play model and I got her all over me after the dash, every time, when I was laying there on the ground.

She is so pretty! Love the shots so far.

Duke stayed locked up in the ASPCA shelter for almost 5 months because the animal control officer that picked him up off the street called him a "pit-bull mix" so people were reluctant to adopt him. The morning after we brought him home, my toddler niece was attacking him with a wire brush, playing with his tail and his ears, and lifting his lips to look as his teeth. He just sighed and endured it. Here he is, happy in his new home. The shadow on his flank belongs to my niece, with wire-brush in hand. Then followed a good solid half-hour of her exploration of our new dog. He's a good boy.

Glad you like it. It made me think "Hmmm, someone got a picture of Andre in his youth.". :-p

Great pictures as always, Andre. I just love your dog also turbo. My wife would tell you that you would have a hard time separating me from either of them.

My sister's dog is 9-years-old. She doesn't bring the whole stick anymore. She'll bring as little as a single leaf and still expect to get rewarded for it.

Lifted from our local CBS station. A dog that works as a parking valet. When golfers return their carts, she takes the keys and returns them to the clubhouse so the golfers can head straight to the parking lot. Apparently a golfer decided to test her out one day and gave her the cart key, and she's been working at it ever since.

Yesterday, a neighbor that Duke dislikes (the ONLY one, I should add) went putting by here on his 4-wheeler. My father and I were sitting out front in the shade with Duke when Duke jumped up and followed the neighbor down the road ignoring all my commands to "stop", "stay", "come", etc".

My wife and another neighbor are having a garage-sale Saturday to get rid of extraneous stuff, and tonight I told Duke (in the presence of my wife) that I was going to put a "for-sale" tag on him. "Bad dog. 50 cents or best offer." She acted pretty ticked off, but I may still do it, just for fun.
