It’s always so much fun putting together the Stunning Dog Photography post using photos sent to us from the Dog Files Community. Keep those stunning photos coming and I hope to do more and more posts featuring your very own hounds!
I thought this would be a great week to showcase England’s Royal Family and their longtime love of hounds. Enjoy!

One of the very few photos I have ever seen where Queen Elizabeth looked overjoyed and truly full of honest emotion….greeting her beloved Corgi’s at the airport. What a priceless photo.
