Just a guess at the Maltese mix. I was wandering around taking pictures when what did I see but an akita, headed my way. I think I may have seen this guy before.

Bear (and his dad) came right over, and I pointed my camera that way, since it was obvious he was going to be a great subject.

But then this little gal came over. Sorry, but I never got a clear shot of her face. And Bear had no idea how to react.
