Sahraa and the camera (2/2)

As soon as she saw the camera, I got this unhappy look, but at least she didn’t turn away like she usually does (because she didn’t want to interrupt the petting).

For those who aren’t familiar with her story, she was shot with an air gun as a puppy in Kuwait, which we discovered when a vet in Riyadh found three pellets in her leg and waist in an X-ray. As a result, she doesn’t like anything pointed at her, even a cell phone camera.

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

Sh does seem scared. I can’t imagine what she went through. V

She has had a rough start to her life but it's obvious that loads of love have come her way since then.

La pauvre ! je ne comprendrais jamais les gens qui font du mal aux animaux, quels qu'ils soient !! pas étonnant alors qu'elle soit sur ses gardes ! v

Amazing that she hasn't not used to your camera !!

Definitely understandable. Best finding another model.

She always looks so wary when the camera looks her way, and no surprise given what happened. Memories of that will always be there. It is lovely that she has had all these years with you to make up for that. V

She surely look scared or at least unhappy. That's a sad story which happened to her.

Looking realy very unhappy. I did not know a dog could show this so obvious.
Jim Coffman24-Feb-2020 21:27
I sure wonder what goes through her mind.. Something from her past undoubtedly triggers this response..
