Duncan the Potcake Dog

Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by Mark in Bird Photographs, Dogs, Pet Food Express My Mutt

Until last weekend I’d never heard of a Bahamian Potcake dog. Potcakes are street dogs from the Caribbean islands so-named because their primary meals come from the food caked at the base of the pots and pans of local residents. Now not only have I met one in the flesh but I’m a fan. Duncan, who came over for a My Mutt poster photo session is even the star of a book (Bahamian Potcake: A Dog’s Perspective) his mom wrote about him. Please weigh in on which shot you like most for the poster,

I'd like to thank the Academy...

Are we about done here?

My vote is for “I’d like to thank the acadamy…”

Duncan is a natural for the camera. What a ham! Seems like he knows exactly what he wants to convey and he does it well!! From street dog to prince. Now that is a fairy tale if there ever was one.

I like “What did you say?” because it is a rare candid photo of a frequently photographed pooch. He costumes so well, incredible patience with his mom, I was surprised at least one shot did not have props!

What a handsome dog. Thanking the acadamy I guess was my favorite. Very hard to choose as he has such an expressive face. Dede Delzell. Nov. 3, 2009

I vote for the shot with the flowers in the background. Love the white sox he wore to receive his award.
