Dr. Ramona

Dr. Ramona by WisDoc.
Dr. Ramona is probably the world's smartest dog - not only is she a dog, but she was able to earn her MD by age 2!

We are expecting our first child in a few weeks and I was experimenting with high key processing. I've seen a lot of beautiful high key photos and wanted to learn how to do it before the baby arrives. I figured I would experiment with our current "baby" - our 2-year-old yellow lab Ramona:)

What a beautiful white lab, and an excellent image. Doc Dog seems like a great companion, I have a cold nose and a warm heart, I wonder how Doc Dog would diagnose that.

TriPoodle [deleted] says:

Dr. Ramona you are just too cute! Are you a vet or pediatrician? I've always thought that would be a great combination...the little girl brings her puppy to see the vet and she gets her shots at the same time. Not practical or good medicine, but it sounds nice!
