 this is Fred and Tod .. they definitely have a bond .. and Tod is like a therapy dog for Fred ..

but because Fred has alzheimers it was quite difficult showing the bond they share and at the same time getting a natural looking photo ..

after voting ..
absolutely stoked that ppl liked this photo ..
and not getting any votes under 6 was wonderful .. of course for me .. but also for Fred and his wife Melissa who are my very close friends ..
they will be so happy with this result .. :)

thankyou everyone for your votes and comments .. much appreciated .. :)

Lovely man with dog portrait but I don't like the vignetting and how the gentleman's head fades away at the top.
