Chance Encounter

Published by Mark Rogers at 3:59 pm under Dogs, Rhodesian Ridgeback, mixed breeds

I had a shoot last week with a great dog named Chance. He’s a Rhodesian Ridgback mix who lives with his dad in the aptly named Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco. Chance is a rescue dog from the Milo foundation and boy did he land in a great home.

 
Chance loves his toys but is fairly picky about where he plays with him. Inside it’s pretty much anything goes but outside it’s the bouncing green ball or nothing at all. Chance has an extraordinarily expressive face and can do things with his eyebrows that would pretty much make anybody give him anything. My favorite excerpts are below

 

Pure Chance, Pure Joy

I love the nose freckle

This is the eyebrow thing I mentioned before. May I have a steak, please?

Smile and say Chance

    Chance looks so much like my dog Fergie it is uncanny!

    The third image down with his head on his paws looks EXACTLY like her. It’s such a trip.

    She even has the same little white chin. Same black claws, same eyeliner. Wow.

    And imagine living with a dog who gives you that look all the time. When I first got her I thought she was always sad, now I know that it’s just her normal look.

    Except of course when she is outside playing with HER green ball, then she looks just as maniacal as Chance.

    He is darling! Thanks for sharing Mark!

    Wow,

    Can I say Mark you did an awesome job capturing Chance’s personality (and does he ever have a personality) and spirit. I love all the photo’s so much I am having a hard time deciding which one’s to print.

    Chance had such a good time with you and his best friend Petunia can’t wait for her turn.

    Thanks for the posting.

    My pleasure, Bill. Chance made it pretty easy. He and his dad are both great guys.
