Dog of the Day: Dingo/Lab Mix!

I didn’t realize there were lots of dingoes running around loose on the streets of San Francisco, but apparently it’s more common than you think.  Or, well, than I think, anyway.

This one is a particularly awesome one, too… friendly as all get-out and happy as can be.  Her name is ‘Ginger’, and she can apparently often be found in the mornings helping Robert V. Doerr, Jr, accordionist, entertain passengers at the Van Ness Civic Center Muni Station.  (Corrected… sorry, Robert!)

And another edit: Ginger has her own Facebook page! Tres chic! And Mr Doerr, Jr has a YouTube Channel and Facebook page too.

Aw, come on.  No, I didn't eat your baby.

Dog of the Day: Who knows?

I love this guy… awesomely foofly, and happy.  I remember the day we took it, it was evening, and Autumn and I were wandering around down on Polk Street.  But I can’t for the life of me remember what breed this dog was.  Golden/something?  Husky/something?  Could be a Golden/Husky, I guess.  But whatever he was, he had character by the truckload.

Yeh... that's right... right there... that's the spot!

Aaaand… Dogs of San Francisco’s first photobomb!  I was trying to get a picture of the black dog, but in the time it took me to push the shutter button, he turned away, and someone else turned up…

Hey there!  Whatcha doing?

Hey there! Whatcha doing?

PS: Argh, sorry this went up late.  Typo!

Dog of the Day: Foxhound

Either a straight Foxhound or possibly some kind of mixed-breed Foxhound.  In either case, he’s cute.  Plus, does he look to anyone else kind of like he ought to be a cartoon dog?

Uh, hi!  Has anybody seen a fox?

Dog of the Day: Chillin’ Husky

This guy surely has the right idea… he was just chillin’ in the San Francisco sunshine, and extracting a petting toll of all passers-by.  While I watched, he got at least four people to pet him, including one who gave him a tummy-rub.

Okay, I admit it, that was me.

Yes, I am da man.  Er, dog.

Dog of the Day: Two Norwich Terriers

I don’t have much familiarity with Norwich Terriers, but that’s what Autumn says these are (probably… they could also be Cairn Terriers).  This pair was curious and cheerful and not at all yappy.  I wish I could say the same of all of the terriers I met, but let’s face it, in a lot of cases it’s an awfully small step from some little terriers to little terrors.

Hey, do you smell a rat over there?

Dog of the Day: Vizsla

A somewhat nervous but still gorgeous Vizsla.  As always, if you know the dog, who was seen down near the Caltrain station at 4th and King, say something in the comments.

Also, if you know anything about Vizslas, I’ve always been curious about them.  The ones I’ve interacted with have all been a little shy, especially for a dog of their size.  Are they all like that?

Nope, I was told to stay on this towel, and I'm gonna stay on this towel!

Dog of the Day: Australian Shepherd PUPPY!

Two pictures of this adorably cute little fuzzy guy.  And I’ll tell you, he’s even cuter and fuzzier in person.

Adorably super-prosh slightly disapproving puppydog!

Dog of the Day: Giant Schnauzer

This guy is clearly Schnauzing for all he’s worth.  And I gotta say, he seems like he’s probably worth quite a bit.

I'm 70 pounds of pure Schnauzing satisfaction

Dog of the Day: Black German Shepherd

I love this guy.  Gorgeous, alert, happy, snuggly, poofly — he’s worth two normal dogs, especially on a cold night.  Ran into him in SOMA, around 8th and Howard, last summer.

I know I'm awesome, but it's kind of you to say so.
