Type and Size

Some dogs come to the coast to chase waves. This one looks like he came to work.

The Watchful One captures the serious concentration of a dog who seems to have appointed himself responsible for keeping an eye on everything.

Artwork Story

Some dogs seem to know exactly what their job is.

While everyone else is enjoying the view, this one is watching. The ocean is behind him, but his attention is somewhere else. Maybe he's keeping track of his people. Maybe he's making sure everything is exactly as it should be.

Whatever the assignment is, he seems to be taking it very seriously.

Of course, every shift eventually ends.

Hopefully there's a pup cup involved.
