An Afghan Hound, kissed by the morning light. Stands proud amongst the historical pillars of stone and brick.

A breed originating from mountainous landscapes, for hunting. Now, an architectural masterpiece of the canine world, plaited and washed, and trimmed and polished.

How man can take such a beautiful thing, and refine it for our own aesthetic pleasures.
