EVAN FOUNTAIN - US Air Force

Throne Room

Pepper is a bit of a strange dog at times. More feline than dog. Imperious at times, and proud as any aristocrat. She wasn’t raised like that. Luna, our older dog that helped raise her was as pure a lap dog as a sixty-five-pound mutt could be. Pepper is a bit different, though, we’re unsure how Pepper deviated so much from Luna.

Despite that, she is almost as good a dog as you could want. She is a close companion, loyal, intelligent, and a good judge of moods.

While getting in the frame of mind to take a series of photographs, I called Pepper over and patted the chair to get her to climb into it. It was like she knew what I was looking for and instantly assumed this pose. After taking this picture and maybe two or three others, I didn’t need to do anything else. I had all the photos I had hoped for that day.
