Ollie

Ollie is a stunning English Labrador Retriever who was professionally bred and trained as a hunting dog in England. He’s six years old now and was brought Stateside last year, and already he’s forged an unbreakable bond with his new owner. He is by his owner’s side always and accepts commands only from him. It is a wonder to see the discipline and focus of a dog at work. Ollie’s eyes shine with intelligence and determination, and his regal posture and glossy coat denote years of traditional and history.

But at his heart, he’s still a dog just like any other, who lives to please his master and loves a good dive in the lake! One of his favorite rewards after a successful drive is getting to put his paws up for a hug and nuzzle, and when he retrieves his prize his tail wags a mile a minute. Aren’t dogs the best?

Tallulah

Tallulah is a gorgeous senior girl who was rescued when she was a year old. She likes treats and toys, but more than anything she loves to be by her mom’s side. She even gets to go to work with her every day.

She looks mostly like a black lab mix, but in person she has a lot of greyhound traits too – the long nose, the piercing eyes. But when the ball is out she is ALL lab!

Beth | Daily Dog Tag - She’s beautiful! I love these photos, especially the last one.

Austin

Austin is a handsome seven-year-old English Cocker Spaniel whose nickname is Velco, as he is always by his mom’s side. In all these photos, it looks like he’s posing away like he’s in a furniture commercial (he and his mom have a bee-yoo-ti-ful home!), but she’s just slightly out of the frame in each one. He has amazing eyelashes, and lovely unusual coloring – blue roan with tan.

He was very excited to have all the attention on him for a full two hours, and you could tell – he would hop up on each piece of furniture without us asking and start posing away like a pro. He also loves his doggy door and was so proud of himself that he was prancing in and out of it like he was doing a demo! I had so much fun getting to know him and his mom, who have a wonderful bond.

These last images tell the story of a typical day in Austin’s life: watching his mom get ready for work, then going to his favorite window to watch her go and also await her return. Then he naps on the couch and greets her at the door as soon as he hears the tell-tale signs of her homecoming!
