Topper

Posted on 23. Jun, 2008 by Mark in Doggies, Dogs, Gift Ideas, Mutts, Pet Photography

I had a great shoot with a nice little guy named Topper last weekend. Topper was recently adopted from San Francisco Animal Care & Control and he ended up in a great home with a dad who just adores him. One of his dad’s friends gave the session as a gift.

Topper is a chihuahua mix with personality (and energy) to spare. He also happens to have one of the more unique gaits I’ve ever seen…sort of slide-along-and-hover-with-front-paws-raised type number. It was most amusing.

    Hi Mark, thanks for your comment regarding my sweet Charlie. He is very much missed right now and I appreciate all the support from everyone.
    Awesome photos of Topper! He looks like my other dog Eddie. I love those Chi mixes.

    ha ha ha, woohoo, I’m still laughing. that walk is HILARIOUS! I vote for all of us pet photographers to get video cameras so we can capture things like this in our shoots. I love the last shot too- what a neat little body on that kid. Great captures Mark!
