I hope that this image perfectly displays the playful nature of Wild Dogs (my equal favourite animal) and one of the best subjects.
Luckily Wild Dog populations are increasing in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.

Ken, well done nailing this moment against such a nice background. The pose and expression of the "top dog" is wonderful.

The upright pup is perfect, with great expression. I wish we had a different view of the other, however, as it took me some time to really resolve what was what and where he was looking.

Thanks everybody much appreciated devil

Morkel,
Hwange is the best "game" park in Africa, over the past ten years it has certainly got more crowded.
Gone are the days when we saw one other vehicle in a week cheeky

Lon,
I will search for a less muddled image
