EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph captured by Eric Piper in August 1973, we are introduced to Pepi the poodle, who seems utterly perplexed by the laughter surrounding him. With a quizzical expression on his face, Pepi cannot fathom why people find amusement in his presence. Little does he know that it is all connected to the sign hanging behind him in Verdan Thomas' shop. Pepi's owner, Verdan Thomas, has humorously placed a warning sign proclaiming "guard dog" right above his beloved pet. However, as Pepi lacks the ability to read human language, he remains blissfully unaware of the joke being played on him. The juxtaposition between this cute and innocent poodle and the intimidating label creates an amusing contrast that tickles everyone's funny bone. As we observe this snapshot from yesteryears, we can't help but appreciate how animals like Pepi bring joy into our lives through their unintentional antics. This image encapsulates both the innocence of pets and our tendency to find humor even in everyday situations. Eric Piper's photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of how expressions and signs can create unexpected moments of delight. It is no wonder that this endearing print continues to evoke smiles decades later – reminding us of the timeless bond between humans and their furry companions.
