You should try it as I think they are easier than people apart from the risk of being bitten. Most owners are more than happy to assist such as the two below. However I did throw the ball myself so it was a lucky shot. The great thing about dogs are they usually always make eye contact which makes the picture. To see the world from their view I place the camera at their level and shoot blind so it is often pop luck. Perhaps I should carry a mat and lay down.
The long suffering Mrs P and I thought our dog days were over but we now baby sit Murphy our daughters Chinese Crested Powder Puff! Has a lovely nature but of late is nipping strangers with baggy trousers! Inspired by the great Elliot Erwitt and apoliogies to him I seem to be taking a lot more canine pictures.

Hi Chris, another superb two shots. Actually I think they are stunning in terms of composition and exposure with the rich colours against the dark background. This is doubly impressive considering your shooting technique.
