black puppy sitting on a brick path — Meet Hummus!

(Yes…best name ever!)
Hummus is a sweet black lab puppy. He is currently being trained for a very important job!

black lab sitting in working dog vest — Hummus is a part of Canine Companions in Williamsburg, VA.

[Canine Companions] “provides service dogs to adults, children, and veterans with disabilities and facility dogs to professionals working in healthcare, criminal justice and educational settings.”

cute black lab puppy holding a leaf and looking up — Hummus is being trained by the amazing @raising.puppies (IG). This is the third dog in training that I have photographed with @raising.puppies. Hummus will stay in his current home for about 18 months and then will move on to the next stage of training. I am lucky enough to be able to photograph Hummus again at 18 months and see how he has grown.

black lab puppy in grass playing with a stick — Fun Fact…Hummus is the son of the last dog I photographed for @raising.puppies…Gage. We also photographed Gage as a pup and at 18 months.

Check out Gage’s puppy images at the end of this post.
