My dogs
Meet our beagles, Betty and Lucy. These lovable pups are half-sisters who share the same father. Betty is seven weeks older and the leader of the two. Both bonded the moment they met. It was like they had met their long-lost soulmate. They’re rarely apart and genuinely seem happiest together.
While sibling rivalry seems to be common, we have not seen any of it in our Beagles. They have always been close companions. Both are also very affectionate dogs. Lucy is our snuggle bug, and Betty is a bit more independent.
Why black and white
I enjoy black-and-white photography and wanted to capture my beloved little companions in this medium.
