Lamb and the Wolf

[herderdog]

This is a Maremma guardian dog--doing his job of protecting the sheep. He lives 24/7 with the sheep and has since he was a puppy. It is his job to keep the coyotes away.
Pic was taken in the shade--I can't seem to get any more light into it. Any suggestions?

That's pretty cool!!! I like it a lot. Too bad there wasn't better lighting.

This was all I could do without blowing out the fur on the dog's side. Basically I took out the bluish hue:

Thanks tupe! Yes, I like your work better. Makes it much more pleasing to look at.

Very cute pic, I have a long haired dog and I wonder if you could make a sweater out of dog hair.

Believe it or not--people do hand spin the combed-out undercoat of dogs and make yarn. It would take a lot though!

Never seen one of those dogs. Great looking.

Nice shot, they look like buddies.Yes, it looks like a family portrait. Has a nice feel to it.

He blends in with the sheep so well, I bet that cayote gets a surprise. Cute shot.
