My ever vigilant, trusty watchdog protecting our property. To bypass this alarm system, throw a baseball.
That's funny. But if you don't have a baseball, then what do you do? This made me think of that song that goes something like this "poor old hound dog looking so forlorn, he's sitting there crying 'cause he doesn't have a bone". That is a very loose rendition --- seriously though, I love this shot and the fact that it is in black and white just adds to the mood.

@Marion: Thanks Marion, My first ever Karaoke comment. Well done. And actually you can throw anything. Even a rock. He will think it's a baseball.
Great photo! I love the roots coming out of the hill(?). At least you sometimes have an alarm system. I really like this B&W shot.

@martie: Thank you Martie. Some of the property is in a wash and it's eroding under some mesquite trees. The roots are pretty cool in some places.
I agree with martie

@yiannis krikis: Thanks yiannis. I always appreciate the comments.
So sweet! Is this a Weimaraner Gary? Like the black&white. If I do throw a baseball, should I throw it to his/her left or to the right? :) Lovely shot

@Ina: Thank you Ina. He's mostly chocolate lab with a little retriever mixed in from a one night stand. It dosen't matter where you throw it. You throw right, he goes left. You throw left he goes right. He is the sweetest dog but a little............. how should I put this........confused.
Ha ha, he looks like a fun and loyal friend.

Add a little sepia, and I would swear this photo was taken in the 1800s. What a great photo. I love the expression on the dogs face.

Interesting composition with the "texture" of the background. The B & W adds a nice touch.
