Dog pix transfix hicks with tricks and sticks
Elliott Erwitt is a French photographer known for decade's worth of sad, funny and absurd photographs of candid situations. A master of the "indecisive moment," Wikipedia calls him.
One of his most famous pictures is a close-up of of a chihuahua standing next to a great dane. The smaller dog barely comes up to the big dog's ankles.
Slate magazine has posted a gallery of some ofErwitt's most amazing animal photos. They manage to be sweet and weird at the same time. They're all black-and-white pictures, which means that my dog would make a lousy subject. In addition to being black and white, Rocket is also brown.

About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
