Introducing you to another iconic dog portrait from my archive.
Beautiful Ruki would have turned 14 this weekend but it wasn't to be for us, as he sadly died over three years ago.
The obvious emotional attachment certainly contributes to it's iconic status, but coupled with the lighting, framing, location (one of his favourite parts of Hampstead Heath) and expression - it's iconic status is secured, and I will forever be grateful to have captured this moment for us to treasure.
Both my children, who are pretty grown up now, reminded me that it was his birthday on 6th March. I imagine this date will always be in their heads and our love for him will forever be in our hearts. Miss you Rukster! Xx
