Alpha, 3 years old, is a Berger Blanc Suisse (White Swiss Shepherd Dog) who lives in Monaco but had been in Gorbio for a run. Hasn't he the longest tongue - he's a hot dog (!) - this is before he cooled down in the area next to the washhouse in the village. Note the plastic bottle used as a tap.You can read more about this breed - the origins of the German Shepherd Dog by clicking on the link - and for more photos of Alpha in the water and to see the washhouse, go to Menton Daily Photo today.
I always think a dog is hot when he pants like this with his tongue out. Yet I see dogs at work like police dogs and seeing eye dogs who also have their tongue out but are not over heated. I have always wondered if they are just thirsty.
ReplyDeleteAlpha is so handsome! So clean too! He's just so beautiful Jilly. And you captured him perfectly!!
ReplyDeleteI wish someone would take that bottle out - such a lovely water fountain !
ReplyDeleteI love how Alpha just fits! LOL
It's a dogs life, Jilly!
ReplyDeleteYikes, that is one long tongue.
ReplyDeleteI love this happy face.
