Friday Fun: Underwater Dogs By Seth Casteel

I wanted to post these last week, but the increased traffic on Seth Casteel’s site overloaded it (it may still be having some trouble).  I can see why he became a hit—he catches dogs in a way we aren’t used to by capturing them in all their wildness or goofiness underwater.  And it all came about because one client, Buster the Cavalier King Charles spaniel, kept getting in the pool during a photo shoot.

Check out the gallery of underwater dogs.  If that link won’t load, try this smaller gallery of images.  You can order prints and there’s going to be a calendar and a book.  Cool!

Sophia Yin On News Anchor’s Dog Bite

You’ve probably seen the story and maybe the video of Kyle Dyer, a Denver news anchor, who was bitten in the face by a dog on air.  Sadly, the whole incident could have been avoided if anyone had been paying attention to the dog’s behavior.  Dr. Sophia Yen has written an excellent article analyzing the video.  Even more importantly, she give clear information everyone should learn about how to greet dogs and about reading their body language so you don’t miss signs of stress.  Good information for adults and children!
