Thanks Pat. It's a Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus), sometimes referred to as an African Wild Dog. Dingos are from Australia, and have an overall tan coloring. This was shot at dusk, and you should have seen the lack of contrast before I massaged it a bit. Guess I didn't punch it up enough.
Wow! I have an Austrailian cattle dog- and I am sure he must have some of this kind of wild dog in his background somewhere- great shot of an incredible animal! I love your work!
