I first published this post in August 2009. It’s about the Friendship between my boy and his dog. I’m posting it again for Tara’s Gallery because it’s the first thing I thought of when I saw the theme!
-
- He chats … she listens
-
- He kisses her … bleurgh I say
-
- He pulls her tail … she licks his ear
-
- The boy and his friend
They play together every day. He throws her ball, he follows her around, he sits with her and some days he just lies on her. He hits her and she paws him back. She plays with him as she would another dog, sometimes putting her teeth round his arm gently. They play cricket together, she is his fielder.
He loves his dog and I think she quite possibly loves him back.

Lovely lovely lovely! I grew up with a golden retriever and we had a relationship like your two. I still miss him 20 years later *sad sigh*

It is divine! We had a fab chocolate lab who we lost last November but our black lab of one year is all of our best friend! They are simply heaven sent.

Not so sure it’s a Man’s best friend anymore …
Labs are perfect for children too, so soft, good natured dogs .. cool pictures x

Animals give so much to children! These pictures show just how close these two are!

Ooh, I VERY nearly did this too. I’ve got some gorgeous photos of my boy and our Dog together. In the end the photos of him and his bestie won, because their daddies are best buddies too. I think its really important for kids to grow up around animals. Dogs are amazing around kids. Lovely photos. Xx

That’s just lovely laura. We are thinking of getting another dog and when I see pics like this it reminds me how much they give to children.

Beautiful pictures. I wish I wasn’t scared of dogs ( a bad experience from the past) as I think Isabelle might be scared because of me…maybe we should get one to help me get over my phobia…
Lindsey on May 26, 2010
These are brilliant! It reminds me of growing up with dogs, I really miss having one now! x
Alison on May 26, 2010
So beautiful. Our dog however now has a nervous disposition – something to do with kids screaming “No” at her every time she moves, poor thing.
@jencull on May 26, 2010
I love choc labs, my favourite and it is lovely to see the bond they share:) Jen

So cute! I hope Blondie Boy and the Emma Dog get along this well when he’s older. He’s only just started to take an interest in her.
