    What a beautiful, wise-looking face! She looks comfortable in life and in her own skin. She reminds me of Dawg who gets that same look on her face.

    I love the picture! not only is the dog cute, but i love how the picture has a big spot that looks burnt out, and it gives the picture a feel that i just cant name!

    Just seeing the photo I am in love with her. We had a Whippet when we lived in New York. She had her own seat at the dinner table.

    I had a beautiful boy, Alfie, he was a very special Whippet, but he died 20 months ago. I miss him and am reminded of him by your lovely photo of Laika. She is so lovely!
