A pair of adorable Border Collies snuggling up to each other, surrounded by stunning flowers, is one of the sweetest portraits taken by a photographer in the fields of Slovakia.
Breeds such as Australian Shepherds and Dalmatians were also seen posing or jumping around the fields while being photographed by professional pet photographer Veronika Shandor.
A Dalmatian was seen peeking through the flowers and staring straight into the camera lens, while a seven-year-old border collie looked adorable as it rested its chin on a bed of petals.
Other photos showed adorable puppies cuddling up to each other or jumping excitedly among flowers with their tongues hanging out.
Ms Shandor, an award-winning photographer from Bratislava, Slovakia, said: “I enjoy capturing the true nature of dogs, especially when my photo brings a smile to the dog owner’s face,” she said.
‘I love it when dogs are natural and enjoy the photo shoot.
‘When taking photographs, I make sure that the dog model enjoys the process and doesn’t even realize that he is being photographed.
‘Sometimes it takes longer to capture the perfect shot, while other times, the photo shoot is completed in just a few minutes.
Ms Shandor, who won the domestic animal category at the FEP International Awards in April, added: “I have two of my own dogs, a blue merle and a red merle border collie, who are my partners in crime and wonderful role models.”
