Unlike adult dogs who tend to be predictable, when it comes to puppies, itâs hard to be prepared. "I was working with 4 very energetic little balls of fur,â recounts animal photographer Catherin Arsenault. âThey ran in all directions, rolled on the ground and jumped up and down non-stop.â Fortunately, the puppiesâ Pawsies were present to assist by holding the excited little animals in their arms. The session was held outdoors in a park and the puppies were so small it would have been easy to lose sight of them. The photo shoot produced a series of bloopersâwith human arms all over the photosâwhich, according to the photographer, reflected the tone of the entire day! âI captured the last photo in just two clicks. What really worked was having people throw toys behind me to get the puppiesâ attention,â says Arsenault. The key? Be alert, be patient and make sure you get help! (Noémie Simard)
