Look at that mug! Or is it a close-up of some chops? I don’t know, but I do see a long dog tongue hanging out, and I feel like I can hear panting.

Dog mouths are very interesting if you look at them closely. Do you notice in this shot, her teeth don’t show. Look at a dog while it pants, what do you see?

In this photo from the right, check out her gum line. Does this look like yours? I hope not! How is it different than a person’s gum? Here we see her lower fang tucked neatly under her tong. Note the whiskers on the upper and lower jaw. I don’t think about dog whiskers that much, but look at them. They are important, too.

Taking a close-up look at something gives new perspective. What can you look at that is very different when you look closely and focus on the details? 

Check out these close ups.
