Dog Freckles

Today I worked on a shoot where there was a dog, or rather, a dog and an understudy dog. "He's in training," his handler told me. Basically, while the rest of us study Meisner or the Harold, this Irish Setter learns how to behave on set. The expert-actor dog was formidable at his job, for sure, but his performance was enhanced. Sitting still, he allowed a stylist to strategically place freckles across his snout and forehead. Dog freckles, I thought as I held my place in the background, Without them we'd all be plain.
