As mentioned recently on another thread, our pet photographer friend Lisa Scarsi who has taken such incredible pictures of our mutts now uses Max's and Bernie's faces in her advertising, as shown below:
Now that's what I'd call a realistic photo of Bernie bin Laden. In fact, it pretty much tells you everything you need to know about him. But Lisa is so good with the camera that she managed to take a picture of Bernie that makes him look like he's a member of the royal family. In short, it's the most unrealistic and dangerous photo of him ever taken, since it could fool unsuspecting victims into believing he's actually well-behaved and that he's not planning to destroy everything they own.
So without further ado, I present the distinguished gentleman Bernard St. Laden, Esq.
Shortly after this photo was taken, however, he refused to cooperate any further and barked at Lisa until she gave him a toy.
OMG! Bernie?....calm?.....majestic? I was waiting for this after reading your previous thread (I didn't believe it 'till I saw for myself) Be afraid, be VERY afraid......
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

Oh, by the way Bernie, you look very handsome and I have no idea how your parents keep you so clean and shiny....

Oh Bernie! Sooooo handsome! But I like you as the "naughty" boy we really know you to be!

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
Wow, Bernie, you look like a handsome prince. Thank goodness your pawrents warned us about you, otherwise we might be fooled by this picture.

I was looking at the picture of the handsome and debonair Bernard and the oddest thing happened- I swear I could hear the theme music from JAWS....

Bernie does look like a …..distinguished gentleman….whoa! Did I really type that?
He needs a photo in leather, multi colored tights and a headband to show the rock star that he is…..the naughty pic is close!
great photos...but we agree with karen...duh-da....duh-da....duh-da...

Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included). She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.

You saying that dignified Bernard is really naughty? I just don't believe it! You have to be exaggerating.

These are great photos but thankfullly we do indeed know what danger lurks beneath the squeaky clean fuzziness. I'm with Angel--I'd love to see him in leather. But maybe a la Fonzie, like the bad boy we all love.
Marla, I know you haven't been here long so I don't know if you have you seen any of Bernie's misadventures here. If not, please--go check out John's other posts about Bernie. But first, lock up all your valuables. Even through the computer screen, he can destroy nations.

From abandoned puppy to Tripawd Warrior Dude, Dakota became one of the 2011 February Furballs due to STS. Our incredibly sweet friend lived with grace and dignity till he impulsively raced over the Bridge on 12-15-12.

Maybe Bernie is actually the evil twin and the good one filled in that day????
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly  January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Bernie is soooooo handsome! I don't see how he could possibly be 'evil'... 🙂
Those are impressive. Bernie looks like the most well behaved guy ever, and we all know that isn't the case. We've read the stories!
