Here’s a photo of a dog running through the snow with a backpack on his back.
What more could you want? Snow (great backdrop), a dog (cute), wearing a dog backpack (even cuter), a mystery object on the floor (what is that!). Fantastic!
Seriously, even though I’m joking, there’s a fair bit of truth in that. Snow is a great backdrop for a photo. It’s a blank page for the subject to be drawn on – it focuses the eye on the subject (in this case the dog). There’s also a fair bit of action in this shot, with the dog running and looking where he’s going.
As for the dog backpack, I didn’t even realize that such things existed. I haven’t seen them here in Australia, so maybe it’s an idea that originated in the US. I did some research on Google and found that you can buy backpacks for dogs online (annoying popup, but great information) – but the websites I saw are US centric.
I’m sure we’ll get them here eventually. Then we’ll just need the snow!

thanks for using my photo, and the kind words. Feel free to use any of them. The back pack is great, she carries her own food and water, and sometimes toys! The mystery object is a squeaky red dog ;p
Hi fPat,
Thanks for taking the photo and making it available to the world! It’s really great of you. Also thanks for enlightening us about the toy! If you see this comment – would you mind letting me know her name – she’s a really lovely dog. Thanks!
What an awesome and timely picture! I’ve just purchased a Wolf Pack dog pack for my white boxer, Pearl! I just happened upon this super cute picture! How sweet!
