Early last year I ran a huge giveaway to raise funds for Fetching Dogs. First prize was a Ruthless Photos voucher and Bentley’s person was the lucky winner.

Bentley really wanted to like me but if I could maybe not try to touch him or stand too close it would be just swell, please and thank you. And if he could run around with his orange ball for the rest of the day that would be even better!

Once we’d both learned to respect the invisible bubble we got along famously. He even forgot about it occasionally and teased me into thinking he was ready for pats, NOPE – hard yes for treats but hard no for affection, lady!

When the light started to fade we packed up and drove to our second location. The plan was to just do some shots with the off-camera lighting and then pack up. The sunset was really pretty though so we stuck around for silhouette’s against the colourful sky. Bentley got paid extra for working overtime.

Bentley’s a keen flyballer and has a very busy social schedule. You can follow his adventures on Instagram here. If you visit my stand at the Dog Lovers Show you might be lucky enough to meet him.
