I have to lean toward Dale simply because of the action, but the detail of both is superb. Well done to both of you.

I gotta ask (and this will in no way affect my voting) but Dale, is the dog in the second picture like three times the size of the guy standing by him or is it just the angle?

I think that's a German Shepard and has been taken prisoner by the GI's with the M-18 tank destroyer. You notice he is inside a locked gate.

That was my old dog Sten. He curled up for his last nap after 14 years of tongue-lolling 2 years ago. He was a beagle/Aussie Shepherd mix.

My new dog is Sam. He is just turning 6 mos old and topping 51 pounds. He's very cute and I believ has Shepherd, lab, and quarter-horse forebears.
