I'll consider myself happy if I get one decent shot from every roll I take from dogs. It helps a lot to have treats and squeaky toys handy to get them interested in looking at you, It's amazing how still they can stand for a cube of ham. Lennon has sniffed the camera many times, but the noise from the shutter still startles him.... Gotta have lots of patience and luck.... 8 out 56 sounds good to me! To many people (like me), dogs are like kids, any pictures you show them of their dogs are great pictures!
