Today, is St. George's Day in England – celebrating the guy who killed the dragon – the Patron Saint of England.
It is also National Picnic Day, English Language Day, Impossible Astronaut Day, National Cherry Cheesecake Day, World Book And Copyright Day, World Laboratory Day, National Talk Like Shakespeare Day and National Take A Chance Day. The day I have chosen to highlight today though is Lost Dog Awareness Day -
To Remind Us “Not All Stray Dogs Are Homeless”.
Read about it on lostdogsofamerica.org.
It has been 5 years now since our old faithful terrier mix Carlos left us for the Rainbow Bridge at age 17. I made this portrait of him with my old Canon 10D back in 2004 when I had my photography studio. Wasn't he a handsome fellow?
