PhotoHunt: Beautiful (Churches in Venice)

I don't actually know this little girl or the dog. I was at a very big party, very loud, with a band playing and people dancing and lots of kids running around yelling. Then I saw these two sitting there in some kind of silent communion, so sweet and beautiful to me. Later I saw that the dog was very old and blind. Tugged at my heart strings.

A truly beautiful photo, made even more beautiful by what you just said. How sweet of the girl to sit peacefully by the old dog.

That's a wonderful shot. A pensive moment, it looks like, but strong affection between the two. "Beautiful" was my immediate verbal response when the image loaded, so excellent choice.

Thanks for stopping by today.

That's a beautiful picture. There's nothing like kids and dogs. That dog looks quite a bit like my Lab.

Beautiful emotions. I think it is special when children can commune with animals. I certainly hope her parents nurture that gift.
