Am I too late because I wanted to add one as well. These are of my pup Max. Well, he's over two years old but he will always be a puppy to me. He is a rescue and was seriously abused after failing his first hunting season. When he came to us, he would have nightmares of whatever was done to him and wake up howling and terrified. It would sometimes take me hours to get him calm again. But he has adjusted very nicely in only one year. The only problem I had remaining was that he was terrified of the camera and would run and hide everytime I pointed it at him, especially if the flash would pop. To get him used to it, I just took tons of shots of our other "puppy" Sam and Max finally decided he would allow me to shoot him. And these are the results. The first one (I call it "sexy Max") has plenty of problems with it, but have anything to do with him or his expression ). The other I've kept partially in shadow since he still has a long way to go before he is out of them. Just had to share (I'm such a bragging type of mom!!)
