It's a dogs life down in Dumfries and Galloway.

I spent a couple of nights in Dumfries with my boyfriend (blog) this week. Our £19 a night room in the Travelodge was a perfect base to go and explore the beautiful countryside and seaside of Dumfries and Galloway. I got back a couple of hours ago and the only images I've edited so far are ones I took as part of my 'It's a Dogs Life' series.

This first dog has a pretty easy looking life. His house is about 5 meters from the beach and he looked very content sitting out in the sun watching the waves roll in and out.

This second dog is probably my favourite that I've shot so far. He was tied up outside Morrisons in Dumfries and he is the most beautiful wee thing. He looked a bit scared anytime someone walked past, but I stayed back and spoke to him and he seemed to calm down a bit. He's only got one eye and I really hope he's not had too hard a life. He is so beautiful that I'm going to put up all three photos that I shot of him.

I'll put more photos from my break on here and on Flickr soon.
