Scout the Spaniel is photographer’s Connie Meinhardt’s favorite subject, and it is easy to see why! I love his freckled nose and paws! While it is hard to believe, Scout was once lost or abandoned and all alone in the world.
From Connie: “Scout is my adorable rescue.
I found him on Petfinder and couldn’t resist him! I had to drive almost two hours to meet him, but it was worth it. He was brought in after being found alone at a campsite. He was so skinny and emaciated. I adopted him about two weeks after he had entered the shelter and he was still very skinny.
He has brought so much joy to my life. He is the most loving pup I have ever had.
As a Spaniel, he is a hunter, and it has taken me some time to adjust.
He enjoys being outside much more than any other pup I’ve owned.
He is obsessed with squirrels, bird, ducks, frisbees, and don’t get me started on tennis balls!”

I can totally see why Scout is a favorite subject! So habdsome!
What a cutie! That second pic melted me – how precious 🙂
Scout is adorable and I would take all the pictures of him too!
These are so cute! I wish my dog sat still long enough for me to take his photo haha he’s actually scared of cameras…along with phones and everything else in this world. It’s sad.
Oh, that is sad. This method for acclimating a dog to a camera works pretty well with shy dogs. Lay it on the ground and place a treat near it. Let him sniff the camera at his own pace, gradually putting treats on it, or giving him praise for getting close to it. Once he seems comfortable with the camera, try picking it up and randomly pushing the shutter so he gets used to the sound. Always take it slow and let him get comfortable. If he is stressed, either move the camera further away or stop until another day. Eventually he should get used to the camera so you can get some great photos of him!
OMDog. I’m melting over Scout. What wonderful photos and a stunning dog.
Love these photos! Scout is so, so adorable! Those eyes…melt my heart!
