DescriptionA studio portrait of a dog dressed up as a vaudeville actor with a hat and cane, possibly a Labrador or a flat-coat retriever, at the Cobb Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The dog is looking directly at the camera and is standing on its hind legs. It is wearing a bowler hat on its head and is "holding" a straight cane in its right paw. The dog is multi-colored with dark and light-colored patches. It has a shaggy-haired chest and ears that are long and floppy.On View
