I don't know why dogs are used in such a negative connotation in phrases like. "gone to the dogs" and "dog days of summer" or "you dog!" but alas, it is so. I have never met a dog I didn't like and they have been nothing but joy in my life. So maybe we could coin a new phrase that praises the solidarity of dogs, the happy-go-luckiness of dogs and the dopey loyalty they are wired to express toward us.
Anyway, I was inspired by the book "The Dog Who Loved Cheerios: And other stories of indulgence" with it's beautiful dog portraits. And so got out my camera to make a tribute to my dog, Rocket, who truly knows what its all about.
This was a one second exposure with no tripod, so pardon the slight fuzziness.
I love this little dog because he doesn't worry about anything. He knows there will always be food and a nice comfy chair. He loves life and everyone he meets, human or canine. Unfortunately his grace does not extend to the feline, but we all have our flaws.

Let's see...you took that picture on the 6th and he is still in the chair...thus another phrase..."lazy dog" ...or "lucky dog".
