snap

Dogs are one of the few animals that will actually swim just for the pure pleasure of it. They have also, like not many animals, a natural ability to deal with sea currents, a peculiarity that always amaze me. As a matter of fact some dogs are trained to be sea-rescue dogs; they have to learn all sorts of skills which include searching, flying in helicopters, working with human beings and other dogs…And they are very effective!
I wonder what these superdogs would think of their own. I guess they might like better to swim in open waters and maybe snap for fun at an occasional fish… or maybe this is just one of the childish fancies that very often come to my mind.
Illustration Friday’s topic is: snap

Nice design. I like the style.
L’immagine (e da qui la speranza) di un grande cane libero in mezzo al mare mi rassicurerebbe molto di più, nei confronti della stessa vita. Un dolce saluto smilingdog
:-)
Molto interessante!Ma il pesce e’ un pesce d’aprile… o no?
great work as always! woof woof!
Yup, dogs are so sweet and effective at a time. They are great company too. Well, I think we could talk about them for hours ;)
Your illo is beautiful, Massimo. I love this friendly dog.
Cheers,
what a faboo illustration, and for the all the dogs i’ve known, i never knew that little factoid, thanks for teaching me something new!!
awesome work!
They just might like to snap a red snapper! playful and fun!
as long as they dont get snapped back at by a lobster or crab they should be quite good at what they train em to do. nice illo
That is an awesome doggie. In the swamp where I live dogs who like it too much get snapped up by gators. I love the luminescent quality of your colors.
