Samoyed With His Baby

I met this beautiful dog and his owner in my neighborhood, and got the biggest charge out of seeing him carry his "baby" with him.  The woman told me he won't leave the house without it.  I wouldf bet she doesn't make much progress on her walks since people like me want to stop and chat about how cute it is. 

Sofie

Sofie is my neighbor's bearded collie puppy.  She is full of energy and personality and reminds me of the big sheepdog on Sesame Street years ago.  You simply cannot be anything but happy around Sofie.
