Oh... that is so touching. The love and trust they two of them share - just a wonderful moment captured in time! What a beautiful picture.

Very touching....brought tears to my eyes. What a great relationship they have.

How sweet.

And what a great moment captured. My dog looked like a drowned rat when she was wet.

Love it, but I think the dog may be in shock. The water temperature in Superior rarely gets above 45 degrees F.

Actually, this time of year and this year in particular the temps are around 70 degrees-esp. close to shore

This photo touched me so that I've shared it with several friends - and checked for updates. Here's more of the story - and the response to the picture:

I'm glad the picture is helping to make this aging best friend more comfortable.
