The secret to a good morning is to watch the sunrise with an open heart.
-- Anthony T Hincks
And there is possibly nothing more open-hearted than this amazing Doberman.
Meet Calcifer -- a young male Doberman owned by Savannah P, a Jacksonville, Florida veterinarian. If you noticed that this big, handsome boy is built a little differently than many of the Dobermans you might have seen previously, it could be because he is a European Doberman and comes from imported lines.
Basically, Calcifer is pure joy. There wasn't anyone who saw him on the beach who wasn't smiling at his antics. And there was also his "yodel" that he does to invite other dogs to play, which is a unique voicing to be sure.
Some Pre-sunrise Images
This was a dual session, so we also captured images at the arboretum.
And yes, we had to include that goofy "I'm RUNNING" face, too, because though he did the "I am so very regal, look at me" pose, he was also 25 percent a goofball and the running image captured his other semi-ridiculous lovable side.
Oh, and there was that magazine cover...
