Space Race Chase Face

Today’s post is not about putting a man on the moon. The “space race” I’m talking about is the race to close the space between Penny and her partner when playing tag at the dog beach. And the “Chase Face?” Well those are the faces the partner makes when they realize Penny is winning the space race. Normally I catch maybe one good “chase face” photo per trip, but this week we met the best chase-facer I’ve ever seen. I just had to share some of my favorite shots of Mr. Expressive.

Penny knew she had an enthusiastic partner to dance with

I mean, just look at that face!

As Penny closed in, the faces got even better

This guy could be the lead singer in an all-dog KISS cover band

The faces got a bit more desperate when our pal realized he couldn’t outrun Penny

And by desperate, I mean hilarious

But he clearly enjoyed the romp

In between chase-faces there were plenty of big smiles

As for Penny?

She wore that same hunting-grin she always does when she finds a new best friend to play tag with

I was laughing too hard to catch Mr. Expressive’s real name, but I can only hope our paths cross again. You gotta love a pup with personality!
