Friendship
Long Beach, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Canada
March, 2008
On a cold and very wet day out on Long Beach, Vancouver Island we made a couple of friends for a moment whilst out with our cameras… happy to check us out whilst we set up our shots, I couldn’t resist turning my attention to them… well they were following us everywhere!
We were not quite sure what breed they were.. obviously living wild.. perhaps a bit of wolf in there, who knows… But anyway, this pair of puppies were as cute as… I’m sure if we had permanent residence there, then they would be sat by my feet now!

I was up in Clayoquot Sounds for eleven days in my kayak last September and met a couple very hardy, wild looking dogs along the way. What they lived on, I have no clue… and none were as cute as these two. Very nice shot.
Paul Tupman replied
Thanks Wesley.. sounds like you had a great trip too! I know what you mean about these dogs.. they were obviously living wild and with strict rules round there about not feeding wildlife, who knows what they were living on.. they seemed very fit and happy though. :-)
