Refuge dog Diego
This pretty little dog had been given his forever-home only two days before I met him, yet seems full of confidence and happy. He's got one blue and one brown eye and is called Diego. He now lives in Villeneuve Loubet. He and his new owner were at the Fete de la Branda in Gorbio. Lucky dog, lucky owner.

Sacha
Rough Collies used to be a really popular breed. I suppose from the days of 'Lassie come Home' but nowadays they are rarely seen.
I met this beauty in Ravello, on the Ligurian coast of Italy. He's called Sacha and he's 3 years old.

'Ours' and the photography magazine
This is my rescue dog 'Ours' displaying a French photography magazine, Chasseur d'Images, which features an article on Laure Agneray. Laure photographs her three children and has recently published a beautiful book, ''Confiance et Reves Eveilles.' Totally inspirational and gorgeous photography.

Santa Margherita puppy
This very young puppy was being led along a street in Santa Margherita, near Portofino in Italy. The young owner didn't know what breed he is. She said 'pastoral' but that's all she knew. He looks as if he might have had his ears and tail cropped. Hopefully not.
Thank you to a reader who suggests he is a Caucasian Ovcharka and indeed it is a breed who has its ears cropped.

A dog's need
All a dog needs, apart from food and shelter, is to be near his human ...
I think this dog is a Laekenois, a variety of Belgian Shepherd dog. Not sure tho!

'Fall in love with a dog, and in many ways you enter a new orbit, a universe that features not just new colors but new rituals, new rules, a new way of experiencing attachment.'

Tess and ball
Tess and ball. We've met Tess before on Riviera Dogs - she was found at 24 hours old, along with her three brothers and sisters, tied up in a plastic bag and thrown into a rubbish bin. The pups were hand-reared by the kind lady who found them - and look at Tess now. 6 years old and one happy dog.
