If you've ever been around a dog when they're running, you know the kind of unbridled happiness they exude. The way they bound across fields, tongues lolling out, ears flapping in the wind - it's impossible not to smile. Omica Meinen, a Dutch dog photographer, has made it her mission to capture these moments of pure joy in her stunning photographs. For the past three years, she has been snapping pictures of dogs in action, and has noticed that it's when they're running that they look the happiest. The pictures she captures perfectly depict the elation dogs experience while running, and it's nearly impossible not to be touched by their joy. In this post, we'll take a closer look at Meinen's heartwarming photographs. Get ready to feel your heart swell with joy!
