I saw this a few months back and wondered if anyone knew who that handsome man (?) was. Dogville Shorts were made between 1929 and 1931. Reminds me of the old "Dogs Playing Poker" pictures. Classic art, almost brings a tear to my eye:D.
The golden I used to have did similar things w/her ears/eyes when I approached w/a leash. It was a habit formed from years of me sliding a new collar on with the leash attached. She'd squint and pull her ears back in anticipation of the collar being slid over her head.
The smile? I never got that.

I have yet to locate the off switch on any Basenji and I've been around them since I was a baby. When you find it, you will let us all know, right?
Those pics are great. They all look so humiliated! I love the bunny one though. That dog reminds me of the kid from "A Christmas Story". They both look like they have about the same feeling about their bunny outfit!
