It was not easy to get shots with his mouth closed.
This was the hardest shot to get, but isn't he adorable.
He really didn't want to be sitting there, but he was good.
He's a big guy. I'm short anyway, 5 feet tall, and this guy when he stands on all fours, his nose is at my shoulder. He would tower over me if he stood on his hind legs.

This is the therapy dog I drew. He really didn't want to sit for these shots, there was a soccer game going on across the field and he wanted to go play with the kids and get the ball. He would keep looking over at them and sniffing the air, he was cute.

If I may, a couple suggestions on your article:
You should include foto-friday as a tag, it will help the foto-friday audience find your article and you're cheating yourself by not including it.
Also intended to help drive pageviews for NVP members is the group's brand imaging.
Also, if you don't want the 'Type your comment here' in the article, I would use the 'write article' option over 'post photo (this article will give you a walk-through, if needed) - or you can use the 'post photo option and duplicate your comment 1 in the article.

I recognize the photo you used for your drawing Tess.
I did dog portraits at a kennel that had a bring your dog party. I had to shoot photos of them and then work off of the camera to draw them. Trying to draw dogs as they were partying with other dogs was just too hard. LOL
#3 - Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:51 AM EDTOh my gosh! He's beautiful! That 3rd shot in particuls could be a calendar! Thanks for sharing your photos of him. Just a magnificent animal!
#5 - Fri Oct 28, 2011 10:37 AM EDTI love closeups of animal faces; they have such expression. And Number 3 makes him look so dignified -- a very nice portrait! And I hope he got a bit of a reward for being so good about posing.
#6 - Fri Oct 28, 2011 10:43 AM EDTWhat lovely photos. He is so adorable and thanks for sharing him with us. :)
#7 - Fri Oct 28, 2011 10:50 AM EDTLOL! When I first read your comment, I was thinking, "Drew? Drew from where? Some kind of therapy dog pool?" And then my brain went, "Duh! Drew as in draw..." These are great pictures! You captured the dog's expressive face very well.
#8 - Fri Oct 28, 2011 11:42 AM EDTBut if you ever need rescuing from a flood, burning building, etc. just hang on to the BIG dog, Da.
#11 - Fri Oct 28, 2011 12:46 PM EDTWhat a beautiful dog and its used as a therapy dog. Therapy dogs have done so much good for the sick and old. Often when people cannot relate to other people, they still can relate to dogs. The positive change I have seen in people is nothing short of a miracle.
#14 - Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:56 PM EDTBeautiful pictures. Love the close-up. You caught the St. Bernard's spirit. I had a lot of experience with these dogs and they are a handful. Most are big and gentle, sloppy, sweet natured...not overly intelligent, but love affection and play. It must have been difficult to get that big baby to stay put, I can see his attention was somewhere else.
I really enjoyed seeing your pictures today. It brought back wonderful memories. Thank you.
