Happy Tails: El Dorado

If you’ve been a long time reader of the Daily Dog Tag, you know how awesome  I think Anthony Helton from Purple Collar Pet Photography is.  If you aren’t already familiar with his photography, you are in for a treat today!   This handsome dog is El Dorado and he is irresistible!  This isn’t a fashion blog, but I have to say, I love his person’s boots as well.

From Anthony:  “I can honestly say that I’ve loved working with every dog and cat that I’ve met, but I find working with senior dogs to be a particularly special privilege, and El Dorado was no exception. Maybe I’m just a sucker for sweet white faces, or maybe it was seeing how much (hint: a lot) this beautiful boy still loved his favorite things in the world — his people, his treats, and the chance to run freely — even though he’s not as spry as he once was. Whatever it was, being with El Dorado that day moved me.

Dogs never cease to amaze me; their ability to love us unconditionally, or effortlessly adapt to new situations that would leave us stunned, is nothing short of breathtakingly inspirational. I could only hope to face the world half so bravely as millions of dogs across the world do every day. And so when I see a dog like El Dorado, who still has so much love and joy in his heart despite the inconveniences of old age, I just want to hug him, tell him that he’s such a good boy, and never let go.”
