Taking pictures of dogs works in a couple of ways. One way is to catch the dog while he’s doing something else — wallowing in a pile of leaves, staring out of the window, chasing a ball — because then the dog is busy doing what he wants to do and couldn’t care less if you have a camera or not. The other way involves getting the dog to sit still for a portrait. This is always a bit of a gamble, because sure, the dog might sit there (especially if he knows you have treats in your pocket), but there’s always a chance that by the time you’re ready to take the actual photo, the dog might hear a squirrel. A universal truth is that a dog will always give preference to chasing a squirrel (or even looking out of a window while thinking about chasing a squirrel) over being in a photo. Squirrels before photography. Such is the way of dogs. But sometimes the squirrels, or the sound of squirrels, or the thought of squirrels will stay away long enough for you to take a photograph of yourself peeking over the top of a dog’s head, and that makes it all worthwhile.
