This isn’t just a dog. This is my best friend of the last seven years, Chunk. The fattest puppy of the litter (and the stumpiest), I knew the second I saw him I wasn’t letting him go. We are basically inseparable and he’s definitely more human than doggo. How? He’s incredibly aware, prefers to work smarter, not harder and genuinely listens. You can see it in his eyes when he looks at you; he just knows.
I have never encountered a dog who's eyes held such depth. In colour, they're like copper aflame and sometimes they burn as bright as golden-hour. They tell stories. Stories of emotions like love and excitement, or tales of past lives and lessons learned. If a picture is worth a thousand words, Chunk’s eyes are priceless. Here's a glimpse into the stories they told my camera in August, 2020.
