Sharon, dogs are fantastic animals. Friendly, faithful and kind.
Nice capture. It doesn't matter if there is noise or whatever. It is a good and nice photograph.
However, a couple of years ago we knew through a neighbor that her dog had deserted her to a farm nearby because of a female dog. We had a big laugh but we (my wife and myself) we are not sure if that is the truth.
In the house we had 3 dogs for some time but now we don't as we are going old and he/she would survive us and what would happen we don't know.
I photographed this dog the other day, running towards me.
