My dog Tilki ("fox" in Turkish, as she's a Turkish dog) hates my camera and simply refuses to be still, let alone pose, for me. I can't tell you the amount of time it took me (and my husband) to get her in a position that she wasn't moving, didn't have too much shade on her fur and was exposing a good amount of white. I think this was shot at the point that he was holding a cookie above her head :-). That'll do it every time.
