Women and Their Dogs

While looking for a dog photo to use in the recent "Divide by Two" post, I ended up with some extras from the Library of Congress's archive of photos, prints, and drawings.

I decided to include them here, just because I find them interesting. Perhaps you will, too. [click on the group to enlarge]
