Poor dog
I imagine a mom taking this photo — an exasperated mom who goes to all the trouble of dressing her boy in a cleaned and ironed white sailor suit (immediately wrinkled again) and pulls a wet comb through his hair (the marks are still visible in his bowl cut) and then despairs when neither boy nor dog will hold still in the hot sun and ALL SHE WANTS IS JUST ONE GOOD PHOTO. The boy’s expression, his stranglehold on his new puppy say it all. Sitting for mom photographs is an exquisite kind of kid torture, and that sailor suit is being ripped off and thrown under the bed the minute the camera clicks.
