A short sequence of shots from last weekend's Woofstock festival in Toronto. An event called Dock Dogs was set up where dogs run the length of a dock and jump into a 40ft pool of water. This Border Collie, Oban, changed his mind about jumping at the last minute but, to his obvious surprise, momentum would not be denied!

Ha! Amazing sequence. Spot on focus! They're all great, but the last frame is, well, it's one of the funniest dog pictures I've ever seen. Great job!

I like how the change in expression is subtle until the fourth frame which just screams "Oh shit."
Fantastic.

As everyone has mentioned previously, the last image is the clincher - the dog's eyes convey his emotions perfectly. Love it!

The dog didn't change its mind- It slipped on the sign.

Thanks everyone!
Jimmy, Oban was very much trying to stop himself before he got to the edge but his momentum carried him over. I know it looks a little like he's actually launching himself in the first shot but he was actually trying to stop at that point.

The dog wanted to jump look at the 2nd pic he just slid off the end before he could jump
2008-07-08
Miles
captain, as I mentioned, although it's not completely clear in the images Oban is sliding in every one of the shots, they were all taken in less than a second.
