Camera Shy

My dog Kobe has outwitted me every single time I try to snap an image of him. Young and full of energy, this dog knows how to avoid the photog. Frustrated by continual blurs and bad lighting, I usually retreat to my corner. My assistant, who weighs in at half of Kobe's size, is empathetic toward my pain. Holding a dog treat and mesmerizing the poor animal, my assistant knows the moment has arrived. Good dog. Good photog. Happiness. Now, go lay down. My assistant smiles knowing she has stolen the show.
