Can’t help but share my family’s beautiful girl Stephie… her claim to fame is as the niece of the “Bugger Dog” (you know the one). She is so incredibly trainable (due to an endless and sometimes quite disturbing need for affection/physical contact) that we never contemplated letting her near a camera. I took this photo over 2 years ago when I was home and experimenting with my brother’s zoom lens. I’m afraid at 10, and after endless bounds up and down the Te Henga sand dunes, her hind legs are less bouncy than they were :(
