Description

"Do you love me?"
"Can I trust you?"
"Can you see how much I trust you?"
"Am I your best friend?"
"Am I your equal?"
"Will you take care of me?"
"Will you take care of the world?"
"Why do you kill each other?"
"Would you kill me?"

I guess for me this picture has two meanings: the dog is standing in what looks like grass, and like he's looking up at the camera with such a loving and yet sad experession. One meaning would be that he's looking at you/us (as humanity) as an old friend, asking us why we do the things we do... why do we kill, why are we destroying the world, what will be the future etc.

The other meaning I can see would be telling the story of a childhood companion, who is slowly being paid less and less attention as the child grows up. And here the dog is looking up at his beloved person, asking them why they don't love them any more. An alternative title for this would be "Who's changed?"

won the contest for picking the title/description of this pick.
