"Freeze" is a really hard trick--more complicated than "stay"--so this dog is pretty amazing and intelligent and well-trained. I didn't see any situation that looked uncomfortable for the dog. I *would* have liked to see the dog unfreeze at the end and being rewarded. I think the dog's "freeze face" looks a little mournful but he looks well-taken care of.

My girlfriend's Pomeranian LOVED to wear doggy clothes and dress up. He was an attention-getter and felt really special in a sweater! The only thing she tried that he refused was winter booties.

Look back at the one by the sink. Water looks to be on full force but there is no movement. Not hard to be a mannequin in a photo.

so many people don't understand about turning their cellphonesideways.

Since it took time to pose the dog, it wasn't even a matter of grabbing the phone an filming in a hurry to capture an unexpected moment.
