What a wonderful series ... narative ... & beautiful way to start the morning. Thank you Annie, for a great post. And a bit "atta girl" for BANCROFT's owner ... & a special scratch to BANCROFT for giving in such a caring & personal way. I also thank you for sharing a little bit of your story. I tip my hat to you.
Bancroft is a beautiful dog which I bet brings joy and happiness to everyone encountered. You are very lucky!
Brought tears to my eyes...So beautiful!

BANCROFT is a wonder dog. You may remember I posted a picture of him with a sunflower on his head and some of you asked me to post more of this beautiful Golden Retriever. It's with pleasure I show you more of this amazing dog who visits me once a week. He was trained by his owner, Della, since he was a pup and he obeys her every command. I fell in love with BANCROFT on his first visit. These images were shot at various times and places. The last picture is of me and my awesome therapy dog. I hope you enjoy them.

A beautiful series Annie!
My wife with MS has had several Golden Retriever service dogs over the last 29 years. The Goldens have won our heats and we still get excited every time we see one. Yesterday for example as we were pulling into the airport at Seattle to drop me off for a flight, two cars beside us and one behind us all had Golden heads sticking out the windows. They are one of the most popular dogs in the NW. We loved seeing them.
Currently we are waiting for a new Australian labradoodle to wean and then come to live with us in about four weeks. This dog will be more of a companion dog vs a full service dog, but after 5 years without a dog, we are looking forward to a new family member.
And in summary, Loved seeing your photos of Bancroft.
Annie, Bancroft is a beautiful pup and you gave us some great shots of him.

What a wonderful response, AzShooter. I will be showing these comments to Della (owner) and I know she will be very pleased with them. I'm blessed to have BANCROFT in my life. Thanks so much!

I'm not sure to whom this comment was intended but I will speak a couple words. I have been blessed to have BANCROFT in my life. Photography is my main hobby and they don't come any more photogenic than this sweet dog.
