Sofia was so powerful, her jaws could explode a tennis ball. Yet she and her 100 pounds always had the most gentle, loving nature. Her eyes truly were the window to her soul. Ning captured her brilliantly on 3-12-2019. Sofia passed away on Feb 20, 2021, and she will be in our hearts forever.

Thank you. Her eyes reflect her soul. Thank goodness - it is scary to think of a dog this big and powerful being anything but gentle.

Thank you. I am happy to enter this photo whenever I can. My wife took it while laying on the floor in front of the dog and setting her camera directly on the floor for support. Sofia is the kindest dog I have ever had, despite her 100 pounds of bulk. Her eyes definitely reflect her soul.

She is my baby. I have had her since she was 5 weeks old and fit in the palm of my hand.

Thank you. My wife did a fabulous job laying down in front of the dog with her camera resting on the floor for stability.

Excellent presentation! You've used the technique of getting down to Sofia's level to get the best perspective and detail. We see a gentle soul who loves you, as you love her. A worthy winner too! :))

Thank you for your kind words. Ning literally laid down on the living room rug in front of Sofia, and she set her camera flat on the floor for stability.

Thank you. She is 8 years old and is a 100 pound cutie! About 15 minutes ago, I posted two old photos of her taken when she first came home at 5 weeks old.

Thank you. Sofia was a very patient and gentle giant. Sadly, her kidneys failed and she had to be euthanized in February, 2021. she will be in our hearts forever.

She had a trident on her forehead which means she was indeed special😊
