A dog park — from a dog’s point-of-view

Had a blast shooting all the fun dogs and pups!
Bishop the Great Dane was a little older than 9 months when I shot this. -vimeo

Looks like the dogs had a blast but I see some bulldogs and can't believe a dog didn't lose an ear. My american bull dog is pretty calm now in his old age around other dogs, but to leave him unleashed with a ton of other dogs?

You know, i sort of half notice in slow motion that half of the time, when i'd ordinarily think my dog and another dog were getting a bit frisky, they look like a bit like they're practising but making sure not to connect, or land a bite. Interesting.

Also, @jmd, at the beach near me, loads and loads of all different sorts of dogs get together and play. There's a bit of a roughing every so often, but no appendage loss, and i'm talking all kinds of dogs - couple of pit bulls, doberman, etc.. in my experience there are two times you need to be alert around other dogs - 1) if your dog is feeling threatened, separate it 2) if you see someone with a dog who's carrying it, or got it leashed and acting scared when another dog approaches, the dog is gonna behave the same (and dogs don't often choose the flight response).

My dog is a big, muscular dog. But he's the dog that people let rescue dogs or young puppies play with to get them used to the idea that big dogs are playful, not threatening Yeah, i'm proud of him.. people time their walks to coincide with his.

I believe that a sane dog's temperament is dependent upon the owner, not its size or breed (within reason - i wouldn't immediately assume something like a dingo could be raised domestically).

I'm glad you qualified that. Some dogs are bat-shit demented when they first pop out and hit the ground.
