Pastel of a Dogue de Bordeaux.
Despite his fierce appearance this big dog was a real softie.

When I went to photograph this dog the owner had two others plus some beautiful puppies and not a drop of slobber to be seen! Apparently they only slobber in the movies! They do like to come up to you and leeeaaaan on you though.
