This family photo session from Good Morrow Photography with Gunner, the German Shepherd, and his humans radiates love and happiness. I wish every dog had a life like his!
From Natalie: “Michael and Casey wanted to get a dog that would be loyal, trainable, and great with kids. They got that and more! Gunner loves his parents so much; he will even jump into Dad’s lap if he loses sight of him for too long.
Gunner is a fun loving, playful, well trained German Shepherd!”
From Casey: “We were dying to get a dog and wanted one that would be loyal, trainable, and great with kids. What we got is so much more, Gunner loves his parents so much it’s almost embarrassing at times.
Gunner is a badass German Shepherd with a corky loveable sweet side who will play fetch all day, jump for the water spraying out of the hose, or get way too excited about snow and then wake up between our pillows and snuggle all morning. And he’s so smart he knows just how to get his way with his pushover parents.
Gunner is our first and only child at the moment, so we loved the idea of capturing these special moments with our pup.”
Dogs deserve the kind of life Gunner has, please don’t shop for puppies online or in pet stores. I was heartbroken to see this story about 450 German Shepherds, but sadly puppy mills are notorious for these kinds of conditions. Help put puppy mills out of business by adopting or only purchasing dogs from ethical breeders.

I always tell friends and family members not to shop from puppy mills (online or at pet stores) and I don’t either. I think it’s sad, the conditions, they have to live in, and I wouldn’t dare support them.
we had a german shepherd growing up and she was the sweetest dog imaginable. your sweetheart is killing me in those glasses. so precious.
Gunner found his forever family. He is adorable. Puppy mills are horrible
To my cousins has a German Shepherd in it is there absolutely favorite animal. Those animals are so smart and so easily trainable. They are just gorgeous dogs.
He is such a beautiful dog! And he looks so happy with his family.
Gunner looks like the ultimate dog. The photo of him with the shades is too cute.
What a gorgeous dog. My husband is aching for a German Shepherd. He was a dog handler in the military and has been around them a lot.
I hope he can get one soon! Let me know if you need any help finding a good rescue organization!
I LOVE German Sheps and Gunner looks like such a playful pup. These are beautiful photographs!
Thanks, Lecy!
We used to have a German Shepherd from a local shelter. He was such a good dog! I miss him.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Oh my goodness, he is adorable! We have two dogs and they are a big part of our family, we have included them in family pictures from the start and I love how they turn out.
That’s awesome!
Oh, my goodness! What a star. Looks like a fun photo session. Thanks for sharing these shots.
We have a German Sheperd – I mean my parent’s do, which makes him my brother, haha.
He’s such a loyal friend. I love him so much and he brings so much joy in the house. Dogs are the best!
Such a cute pup. I love shepherds as I have always had mixes with heavy shepherd in them. Gunner looks a lot like my dog Mugsy.
What a wonderful story! These photos are really great. They say a lot of beautiful things and are full of happiness.
Ahhh so gorgeous! I love German shepherds too, they are beautiful dogs and so full of character and protective too! I love these photos!
My husband and I loves this kind of dog breed. They are good guard pet and very good looking and loving companion. What a great shot the top one is my favorite.
The first dog I owned as an adult was a German Shepard named Ben. He was huge but gentle. It became apparent that he was unhappy living in an apartment, so I gave him to a farmer. I’d see Ben around and he always remembered me, but when it was time to leave, he always went straight to the farmer.
What a good, happy dog! I a huge dog lover … I would have a dozen of them if people wouldn’t think I was crazy. So, instead, I just have two! I agree – never buy a dog from a puppy mill or pet store.
Yes puppy mills horrible. Gunner found adorable family. My friend had German sheherds they are so gentle.
I only rescue and he is adorable, I love the photo with the sunglasses he looks so handsome and classy
Couldn’t agree more that Gunner has the perfect family – so much love and joy! Definitely a big proponent of not buying, supporting mom and pop breeding as it often leads back to puppy mills. We’ve rescued one from a puppy mill – and it is was lot of dedicated loving work to help her. You go Gunner, continue being the goofy, loving doggo that you are!
Beautiful dog and so happy! German shepherds are one of my favorite dogs as well.
I love German Shepherds and they are fast faves of mine since my days at BlogPaws and working with the police dogs. I love these images as always your site has the best images ever.
German Shepherds were my first K9 love! When I was 14, I made friends with two local guard dogs of a business, one was a silver and black retired NYPD drug-sniffing K9. How I made friends was I’d go to the butcher shop a few doors down, ask the butcher for some bones, and then go feed the two guard dogs. Guess who became best friends?! When the owners were selling the business, they asked me if I wanted the German Shepherd since we had such a special bond. Of course I said “yes!” I took Mia home with me and used that favorite childhood line “Mom, Dad, look what followed me home!” My parents being the pet-loving folks they were, adopted her. We moved out of the city and to update New York where Mia, who my folks renamed Taffy, worked as a guard dog for my father’s business by night and lived the life of a family ranch Shepherd by day! I loved that girl! And to think she was once a tough working K9 police officer and yet adjusted to her new family life. When I married my husband, our first two dogs we adopted were German Shepherd mixes! I love Gunner’s name…and the photos are just beautiful! What a stunning dog he is!
Thanks so much for sharing your story about Mia! She sounds like an amazing dog.
