41 Canine Companions
This is Gus, he is a long haired chihuahua that my parents rescued. After a shakey start he has become their "laugh a day". My dad takes him for a long walk on the weekend up to the "farm" where Gus and the goat have become friends. On warm days Gus knows where to find the shade, and has no problem leaving the rest of baking in the sun. Since it is usually very hot in Phoenix they keep his hair clipped short.

Poor guy, he does look hot! Looks like he found a little shade though!

at least he has short hair. I'm surprised he didn't find a nice air conditioning vent to lay on somewhere

That looks like a dangerous place to hide! I'm glad he keeps the grandparents entertained.

He's found a nice cool place to rest. Great shot.

With all those tools he looks like a working dog. Chihuahua - Manuell Labour right?

That's a great portrait of Gus and I love the place where he's found shade. An endearing photo!
