Not been out taking pictures this winter and can't wait for the warmer weather so I can once again get out. So I retrieved this from some old Negs I have. This is my Granddaughter (some years ago I must add) with one of my dogs who has now long ago passed to the Big Bone Yard in the sky. He was as soft as a brush but no one came near my granddaughter. Mind you being 16 stone did help a lot.

David this is delightful, so glad to see the contrast in size here, though you have explained how big he was, it now comes clear to see......

I love the delicate feminine look you have captured in your granddaughter, against the huge bulk of your boy.

Holy cow...now that is one HUGE dog. One of the most amazing photos I've seen. And your granddaughter looks so calm, confident and composed (for the camera, not to do with the beautiful behemoth) in this shot. A natural model.

I gotta show this pic to my parents. They'll be amazed.
