Most of the dogs I work with look like… well, dogs. But I’m pretty sure that the chow mix dog I recently photographed is actually part teddy bear! :)

The aptly-named Teddy is an adorable chow mix dog, and even though she looks like a puppy, she’s actually 5 years old! Teddy’s mom rescued her a couple of years ago, and they live together on Coronado. She’s quick on her feet when she spots something interesting – you should have seen her sprinting along the beach after a low-flying bird! – but mostly, she doesn’t move too fast, since her pelvis was injured in an accident before she was adopted. I was so sad to hear that – but Teddy’s a tough dog! She doesn’t let a little limp get in her way! So we had a great afternoon session the other day, Teddy’s freshly-groomed fur blowing in the breeze, and she posed for photos like a total pro! :)

Here are just a few images from our photo session on Coronado Beach.

Do you see what I mean? She’s part teddy bear for sure!

What a fun session! Thanks for being such a cute subject, Teddy! :)
