Irish Setters love to run, and this is Gunnar having his first run off leash after major surgery - i'm not sure which one of us was the happiest that day !

Thank you Mike, Angela and Melissa!!!
I love this dog soooo much ! We were both beaming that day, and he's a champion in my heart every single day. Watching him run like this always makes me smile :-) #5771428

What feeling expressed in this fantastic black and white - if it needed a second title - I'd suggest "Pure Joy"! #5772076

Thank you Anne ! I agree - that's a perfect title and describes exactly what we were both feeling. He had a life threatening condition - bloat/torsion and had surgery to turn his torsioned stomach back to the right position and had his torsioned spleen removed. It was "pure joy" when 8 weeks later he was able to run like this. My smile was as big as his ! #5772838
