My first Airedale

More than 20 years (!) ago my late husband snapped this photo of me having a philosophical discussion with a very ungroomed Emma. Like many people, we didn't know what we were getting into when we brought her home. Both of us had grown up with dogs but not Airedales; and for us both, Airedales became the finest animal on the planet..

  5. Aaaaw Emma looks gorgeous. Our hooman often reminisces about her first Airedale. We have such big personalities and make a huge impact on our hoomans.

  9. This photo is so beautiful. It symbolises perfectly the relationship between human and dog.

    I love airedales and wish I've been able to spend more than five minutes with one. One day...
