Bruiser is the neighborhood hooligan. An eccentric funny little dog that loves nothing more than to charge headlong at friend or intruder alike wildly barking his ill intentions... only to roll over and insistently demand a belly rub upon reaching his intended target. Bruiser is also a renowned escape artist, and as such, has taken up partial residency on the couches of numerous homes throughout the neighborhood.
To keep Bruiser’s attention during the shoot we used a little squeaker toy, which quickly became Bruiser’s lifetime adversary and sole target destined for destruction. When he eventually managed get a hold on the toy, he retreated to his makeshift lair under the mops where he could squeak it to death in blissful solitude. Once the photo shoot was over, we let him take what was left of the squeaker home as his token trophy.
