LIFE magazine published many photos so inevitably there are some of dogs. A few of these are featured here. Maybe some more in a later post. The first is a really handsome whippet and a really great photo:

Next we have the gorgeous Brooke Shields and her dog Ginger, back in 1986:

The next photo shows presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy running with his dog Freckles on an Oregon beach, back in 1968, before — but only a few days before his assassination on June 6, 1968:

An adjusted version of this photo by Bill Eppridge appeared on the memorial issue of LIFE on June 14, 1968, but I think the one above looks better. You can see the cover version here.
Much earlier President Harry Truman had a dog named Feller shown in the next image as a puppy on the White house lawn, back in 1948:

Finally, and this one gives me considerable pause for thought, we provide this stark and prescient image of Guantanamo Bay in Cuba back in 1961:

May the rest of your day be great.
