They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, and I think that is especially true when it comes to small dogs. Small dogs can be intense. Their passion knows no limits. There is no mistaking the expectant look in a little dog’s eyes. Meghann from M. Laine Photography photographed Cooper, a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix, and his family, Regi and Charmae, at Magnuson Park in Seattle, Washington. 
From Meghann: “When we began planning this session, Charmae told me Cooper ‘has a big personality,’ so she had low expectations for their photos with him. With this in mind, I was shocked when he was so well behaved at the shoot!

I see more shih tzu in him and I have two. He looks like a great dog and a lot of fun for this happy couple.
What a sweet doggy! He looks like he’s having an amazing time running around.
Cooper is a cutie! All the pictures are good, but I love the shot with him in the air!
Oh my goodness what a mix! I have to admit I don’t think I’ve seen a poodle x shih tzu before but how beautiful.
This dog is absolutely adorable and looking at him, I wish I had one right now. These pictures are really cool
What a sweet pup! He is so darn cute! Looks like a great day.
Aww he is so cute! I grew up around my grandma’s poodles and they were the best!!
Is he not the most sweetest looking pup? I just love his expression. Love all the pictures, but I’m a little partial to the fur babies.
Wow, that looks like a good breed and Cooper looks really a cute and sweet dog.
Awww, what an adorable dog. He does so well with taking photos. I love all these. These are some really beautiful photos.
These are such awesome pics. I love how photogenic this dog is!
Oh my goodness little cooper is the cutest! I would love to snuggle him.
That is sweet pup and wonderful family. He has really nice personality.
Such a cute little dog and wonderful photos. My mom’s dog was supposed to be a Shih-Tzu/Poodle Mix, but he doesn’t look anything like this pup. They did a DNA test on him and he was majority Shih-Tzu, but there was no poodle in him.
I am so jealous…I wish I could attach a picture of my precious rescue dog Bentley who I lost due to a very rapid onset of pancreatitis this past Christmas Eve. My heart stopped when I saw the picture of Cooper! He’s an exact clone of my sweet beloved companion. At first I thought he was up for adoption. You are so very very lucky. He’s adorable! I’m a senior lady in Tacoma Washington and I’ll keep searching for my forever companion. I miss my Bentley beyond words. Congratulations! God bless.
I’m so sorry for your loss! I hope you find another companion soon.
