“Dogs are our link to paradise. The don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring, it was peace.”
Milan Kundera

These are not just cutesie pictures, nor companions for a human centerpiece. It occurred to Andy Hughes that he had many more photographs of his dogs than he did of his family and friends. Through the ups and downs of life, sometimes it’s your dog who seems to know who you are, what you do and understand things you do not even know about yourself.
