ALT a damp golden retriever sits close to the camera with one front paw extended as if he’s taking a selfie. he’s sticking his tongue out just a teeny bit because he’s concentrating so hard on getting the perfect shot. behind him, three more large dogs sit atop a low rock: a mostly black one looking toward the camera, a second golden licking his nose, and another reddish hound sniffing the sky in an aloof manner. the clouds above them are a purplish gray.
