348. Puppy Love

plastic, Tel Aviv

The morning after Valentine's day. I am on a walk with Hugo. As I pass a cafe I spot this heart on the ground. I stop to capture it. Another dog runs over to greet Hugo.

While I was busy with this heart Hugo and Ms. X were busy in love.

Hugo's heart would love for other to support SOS Pets Association http://www.sospets.co.il/16641/_About_SOS_Pets_Association

105. Kissed by a Heart

Hugo's tongue, Park Hayarkon, Tel Aviv

Today after work I went with Hugo to the park. After polishing off a very yummy halva and chocolate oreo cookie ice-cream I lay back on my sheet to relax, when this happy heart suddenly appeared wanting to lick me, (which in dog translates to kiss) - Could anyone ask for more?

It took some effort to recreate the kiss, and capture this heart on camera. In the process I was cracking up laughing by myself, or so I thought - When I finally sat up I discovered I was very much not alone in the park. Oh well, this happy loyal heart is definitely worth a little embarrassment.

Hugo would love for others to contribute to SOS Pets Association http://www.sospets.co.il/16641/_About_SOS_Pets_Association

94. The Land of Honey

filet, Neveh Sharet, Tel Aviv

Asi is one of the treasures I have found in the holy land. We met at the dog park two years ago, where I discovered his wisdom, intellect, humor, kindness and endless patience - since then he feeds my mind with food for thought on a regular basis.

Today, Asi fed me this delicious filet. As I was a vegetarian from 1993-2009, eating meat is still reatively new for me, but my taste buds were certainly loving this heart.

Thank you Asi for finally inviting me to the promised land of honey ("where there is no milk because we killed the cow")

Asi would love for others to check out this video and possibly adopt a dog via SOS in Herzeliya this Friday, June 12. For more information http://www.flix.co.il/tapuz/showVideo.asp?m=2614890

17. Look What I Spotted

dalmatian, Tel Aviv beach

After many hours at the beach I spotted this loveable, huggable, and very energetic ball of love. Pythgoras, named after the Greek mathematician, wears the simple equation for love all over his body. After licking me all over Pythgoras sat patiently as I took this picture. This loyal heart is all love!

So many animals are not as fortunate as Pythgoras. For more on how you can help animals in Israel http://www.sospets.co.il/16641/_About_SOS_Pets_Association
