Bosco the 'Copy Dog'



It is very difficult to blog and post about every family pet I capture portraits of since I am always photographing them. But I will post a few this week starting with Bosco "The Copy Dog". When I was asked by Tom to photograph his little gentleman a few weeks ago, I was so excited. During the day, Bosco is a mild mannered mascot for 'Copy Dog', a print/copy center located on 167 James Street North, here in Hamilton. What does Bosco do you may ask...he makes copies!!! He also spends a lot of his time playing with his stuff animal named Monkey. However, when the doors close, he is a completely different young man of 7 months. The first 20 minutes of his on location photo session entailed flipping and spinning on the grass; we had to stop him in fear he would rub off his fur.

From there we visited several locations in the park and filled several cards full of memories. Although you can find some of his portraits at Copy Dog on their wall, one is on loan to Bosco's favorite pub, "The Brain" also located on James Street North. Bosco is a favorite customer of theirs and I actually had a chance to sit with him and bark over a few beers yesterday..really, he does hang out there. That being said, I look forward to his upcoming studio session and many more years of Bosco, "The Copy Dog".
