While driving along Manatee Avenue with my window open enjoying the brisk breeze, I was passed by a car where the passenger was also taking in the fresh air. The passenger's long, hairy ears were airborne as he poked his head out of the car's sunroof. This was one happy dog. With the wind in his face and the open road ahead, this dog was sitting in doggie heaven. No doubt a notch or two above hanging out the side window like I was doing. A quick shot with the camera was about all I could do as the car and wind-blown canine disappeared in a long line of traffic heading west on the busy street. Dogs are man's best friend, so let your best friend's ears and tongue flap in the wind. If you do not have a sunroof in your car, get one; your dog will thank you.
