Brian, 2018

Brian is a rescued Labrador, whose provenance is never questioned and always respected. At 15 years old, he holds the position of elder statesman to an ever-expanding quorum of 8 other adopted pups.
By the time I was born, both of my grandfathers had passed away, depriving me of any of the disciplinary regimen that grumpy old men who were related to me might bestow.

Which is to say I got away with a lot.

Brian has seen his share of the kind of nonsense that a guy who didn’t grow up with a grandfather can present.
Which is to say I got away with nothing.

And so our brief time together was punctuated with the kind of give and take that arthritic hips and years of good behavior can produce.

They say, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Thanks Grandpa.

from #yearofthedogs a personal project on the character and beauty of these amazing creatures we share our homes and families and lives with. More of this project can be seen in progress @vincentjmusi
