Simply Seamus | Dog Photography Bedfordshire

There is always this on dog, who comes in to your life very unexpected.

I met Seamus on my very first day volunteering at the HULA Animal Rescue as Photographer, back in 2012. We sat down for lunch and coffee and there came Seamus. Jumped right on to my lap, throw my coffee over the table and me, stole my sandwich and looked at me with his big Staffie Smile like he was saying: "Hey nice sandwich. Can I have your crisps as well :)"

Yes this was Seamus. Big. Bossy. Heartbreaker. Farty. Loved Kisses. Cuddly. Softy. Barky. He came and smiles at you and stole your heart in a second.

Seamus was a rescue dog at the HULA Animal Rescue and he stayed there a couple of month before he found his furever home with a lovely lady called Karina. She first started fostering him, as Seamus did not do well in the kennels. Due to his size, he was a big Staffie, his colours and his breed, he got often overlooked. But you know what they say, there is this one person out there, who will find and love you. And for Seamus, this one person was Karina. These two found each other and Karina officially became Seamus human. But who can resist this grumpy old dog, when he comes running at you and gives you the biggest Staffie smile ever.

I met Karina and Seamus many times, for coffee and a chat and also for photo shoot. Because if you are as handsome as Seamus, you are a wanted dog model. Seamus, he is a little celebrity, no no Instafamous dog, he is real famous. He has fans around the globe, so his human made him his very own Facebook page. So he could share his awesomeness with the world.

The years went on and Seamus and Karina moved up to Norfolk. Seamus loved it there. He loves running on the beach, digging wholes and rolling in sand, barking at the waves and just sit in the dunes with his mum and watch a sunset and see the world go by.

We all stayed in touch and followed the adventures of Seamus, who not got celebrity status in Norfolk and I think he must have visited every dog friendly pup there. He showed people how awesome Staffies really are. That they are just big soft dogs, with a big smile and a much bigger heart. Sadly end of last year, Seamus had to go over the rainbow bridge. His time on earth was done. He had spread all of his awesomeness and love around the people he met and it was his time. Seamus was around 14 years old, he was now almost blind and an old Staffie. He loved to sleep and he still loved to watch the sunset with his mum. I still can't believe I will never see his big smile again and that he will never steal my lunch again. But I know, Seamus had an amazing life and he was surrounded by people who truly loved him. From a dog who was sitting alone in a kennel at a rescue centre, to a dog who strolled around the beach every week and who had and still has fans around the world, who followed his stories and his life. Seamus you are a one in a million and you will stay forever in my heart. You showed me the real Staffie and I fell in love with you and your breed. Seamus. Have fun over the rainbow bridge. Run free and bark at the clouds. Chase balls and naughty squirrels and I bet there is lots of lunch to steal up there. Plus there are sausages. Woof.
