'No, I will NOT smile for a picture!'

Bill and Pat and Calypso, the dog they mind, are great friends of Sahraa. I had been lamenting the fact that I was unable to get an adorable shot a few weeks ago when Sahraa came up behind them and stuck her head between them; she turned away when she saw my iPhone. So Pat grabbed Sahraa and tried to hold her for a picture, which she obviously wasn’t happy about.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

A glimpse within, posted earlier:

Apple iPhone XS Max
1/60s f/2.4 at 6.0mm iso16 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Her expression and body language say it all. Great shot of Sahraa with her friends!

I think she pays more attention to the caress of the man and looks like you don't call me back right away, i love her expressions, amways great image you made Helen BV

Sahraa sure doesn't look at all happy.

Too cute. She’s not having it.

That is the hardest thing with my dog too. She looks away the minute a camera comes out. ~V~

She is a tough one to catch unaware! I see one smile here though! V

Poor Sahraa still so camera shy. Shame as a great group shot, Helen.V

Sahraa seems a bit temperamental. Excellent image with these men.

An unwilling model but the light is very nice. V

I don't this I have ever seen a dog so camera shy..

Ha, I can relate so well. Our Shiba Inu could be sleeping but hear me setting up for a shot and would just give me the paw and walk away.

LOL This is great! It shows how beautiful Sahraa really is! She is the right size too.
