For once the Hound managed to stay still for a couple of photographs to be taken while he was on the beach. His passion for life and adventure  is invigorating and refreshing – well he has just celebrated his first birthday (in human years anyway). Hope he brings a little sunshine to your own Friday morning and woof, woof it is the weekend fast approaching.

His tip to pass on if in the UK is to know which beaches are dog friendly or not and almost as important, those pubs which are dog friendly. Sitting in the car on a summer’s day is no life for a dog.
