We ran across this guy at Taos Pueblo in New Mexico — apparently nobody actually keeps dogs as family pets, so a half dozen or so dogs just wander around as strays / community pets. Judging by his left eye, this one got in a scuffle recently.
It took me some tinkering in Aperture before I got happy with this shot — it just looks better to me as a pseudo-antique than as a full color image.
aww that is just too sad… you did manage to capture this scene with all it’s sadness very well!
From this shot I don’t think you could go with the old saying its a dogs life. I like the desaturated color.
poor pup.. it’s sad to see them like this..
