Running with the Big Dogs

Description


Reminds me of the saying, “If you Can't Run With The Big Dogs, Stay On The Porch.” Not this little doxie - racing around full-tilt with an old beat-up dog toy in his mouth, he was the unstoppable leader of the pack....A real bundle of happy dog energy! Captured at the very summertime-dry and dusty flats by Lady Bird Johnson Lake in Austin, TX.
