Sunrise and Shyla Dog From Bandon Beach Along The Oregon Coast in Oregon
"Photography Princess" I would like to wish a very happy birthday to Shyla Dog Super Hiker. This beautiful Photography Princess has been my helper now for the last 13 1/2 years. She has logged over 8000 trail miles now, and images of her have been published all around the world. My book Images of the West is dedicated to her, and all the help she has given me. She has spent her entire career off lease, and for the first 11 years of her life she carried her own pack with her own food, water, and bed-roll. She was retired from that duty when she turned 11(I know carry it for her). I rescued her from a shelter all those years ago and she has rescued me countless times since then. She is such a very important part of my business and our family. This month she turns 14 years old and oh how I wish it was 4. It is so unfair that dogs can not live to be 40. She can still put in a 5 miles day, much more in her own mind, but she gets a bit too sore to do much more than that now. If you have ever visited either one of my galleries while I am working, you have met this beautiful spirit as she still works as a greeter in both galleries. Happy Birthday Shyla Dog Super Hiker, you are so very loved!!!
