A puppy’s boundless energy captured by a wildlife photographer.
Sean Schendel often focuses his lens on nature and wildlife, but he was out for a walk with his then 4-month-old Fox Red Labrador Retriever puppy when his focus abruptly changed. “I was looking for wildlife, and then the puppy ran away,” he says, noting that Toby’s return lended itself to the perfect moment for a picture of the pup in motion.
