I am slowly getting back into a sort of “normal” life again. I still have my limitations, and of course the medical team tells me what I can and cannot do at the moment, but anything outdoors, within reason, is a good thing. I was fortunate enough to do what I love most and have my first puppy shoot since the surgery.
The puppies will be shared later, but this is their father — a pure legendary long-haired German Shepherd with an incredible German lineage. He is a descendant of many top champions and, not to offend anyone, one of the most beautiful pups I have ever seen, not to mention his incredibly friendly temperament.
I was so in love with this dog that I must have taken around 700 photos of him alone. Now I just have to narrow them down, but I think this one is my favorite.
Thank you to my beautiful wife for coming along, and thank you to the honorable breeders, Alexander Gonta and Katherine Gonta.
