Portrait 25: Murphy

I met Murphy a few days ago. I always ask before I pet any dogs, but this guy had his nose in my hand almost immediately. I chatted with his human for a few minutes and watched as Murphy proceeded to request pets from one hiker after another who walked past. This was a particularly busy trail, and it had no shortage of hiker hands to scratch his ears.

This section also had no shortage of dogs, and Murphy was one of SEVEN I got to pet that day! They were all very good boys!
