Can you guess the animal’s person?
These two puppers are half siblings – they have the same mother, but a different dad, and are one year apart. You can imagine the arguments. One of the pups has an bit of a tendency to stick her tongue in other people’s mouths, especially when they’re least expecting it. They are both bird hunting gods.
