Reflecting on the picture


A dog is a man’s best friend. This is a saying we know too well. There has been countless stories of the loyalty these animals possess. From saving their owner from a burning house, to risking their lives to protect their human friends, dogs have been the loyal companion of mankind far back into the history books. This picture shows a woman holding a leash, looking for her pet in desperation. It makes one question, “why did she lose her dog?” As a dog owner, you give your dog some freedom, and it may run off; yet, you should have no need to call for it desperately. Calling for it once should retrieve the dog without too much trouble. Although no judgment can be made by simple visuals, the fact that this lady made this dog run away makes me question her character and personality. Also, the weather seems horrible; if the picture was taken at a park, we should have been able to observe others present within this picture. Yet, she seems to be the only one out there. Looking into her dressing style, the weather also seems chilly. Why is she out there? Of course, if the dog needs a walk, it’s understandable, but if she’s a type of owner where the dog would run away from her, most probably she made no consideration of that sort. The lady simply looks as if she needs more help than retrieving her dog. Maybe she needs psychological treatment.
