You've probably seen this photo circulating the internet as a meme. It all started here - my pug - in the tulip fields of Woodburn, Oregon, at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm, on a late Saturday afternoon. Wallace had just had cancer surgery - but you'd never know from this photo. I love that in his big enthusiasm he managed to get all four feet off the ground at the same time!
This photo won the 2012 Travel + Leisure magazine photo contest - I won the grand prize - a $26,000 vacation to South Korea. The value of our trip *just* exceeds the cost of Wallace's myriad surgeries in the last four years. He'll be seven on Groundhog's Day - and he has cancer, and just had his first ever seizure recently. You'd never know - he's the happiest, snortiest, sweetest pug in the world. And I will always have this photo!

Great action shot of Wallace! I don't see this photograph for sale on your gallery; was that intentional?
