Tell a Friend
Luka and Bob
a few years ago, Bob was mountain biking in the Capital Hills near Olympia and found that he was being followed by an emaciated looking very young and obviously lost husky. The dog couldn't be chased away or dissuaded from following. After about eight miles of trail, Bob decided that he had found a new friend, or rather, vice versa. Luka went home with Bob and they've been together since. Here, we see them on the trail enjoying the snow. Luka is strong and loves to run and run she does and wow is she strong. While I was talking to Bob, she sat patiently waiting but obviously eager to get up the trail. I turned and went up the trail a little way to photograph them coming up the trail toward me and behind me heard Bob yelling for Luka to stop. I turned to see that Bob had fallen and Luka was running full speed, dragging him behind, flailing in the snow...

That's a really good looking dog! And very nicely captured; you can really see her personality.

Yes sir, I have been such a bad girl.
My new life vision doesn't include LJ - I will look into doing some revisions.
Thanks for the reminder !

What a sweet story! She looks like such a happy dog too. :-)

She was extremely friendly too-probably not much of a guard dog. Her enthusiasm was contagious.

I did make those images but didn't ask if I could post those and some folks are embarassed when they fall so for now, they're private.

I want to get a dog-companion for Fletcher, but I really want the dog to find us in a similar passion with which Luka found Bob.

I figure it will happen, and this story lets me know it is totally possible.

Luka is a beautiful beast. You captured her well.

She is beautiful.
And she reminds me that my dog, a poodle, used to pull me as a kid while I was on my rollerskates.
