A very fun photo I shot of my dog, Tai, as submission for a photography contest. It was sponsored by a treat company so I figured I would include their product in the shot as well. There was a lot of compositing to make this shot happen, however Tai really DID stand in the tool box like this and wear this particular outfit. The car featured is my 05 Jeep Grand Cherokee and I actually had pulled my spark plugs myself a few weeks before shooting this photo so I still had the old plugs laying around to use as props.

Tai is a formosan mountain dog/golden retriever mix and does a ton of tricks, including posing for fun photos like this.
