I'm a little uncertain about uploading this one. That tensive relationship between humour, candid photography, exploitation and making others the butt of our jokes bothers me, but I do not think this particular image harmful.

The dog's waterproofs were of a similar tonality to its owner's, but sported pop-art 'kapow' type speech-bubbles. It made me smile at the time and still does now.
