Farm Dog

Farm Dog • © Tom Kelemen
A Message From Tom:

I’d like to introduce a subject I rarely think to photograph when capturing the more scenic aspects of farm life. Busier than the farmer himself, Ronnie the farm dog rarely has time to sit (or stand) for a portrait. There are cats and rats to chase, cows and horses to nip, woodchucks and rabbits to contend with…and when done with his doggish chores he helps bale hay, chop corn, fix machinery and supervise EVERYONE. I think he would be shocked to discover that he is not human. He is a loyal companion who works long hours and never complains. This troublesome mutt could teach us all a thing or two about life!
