Andrey said: "It's not an easy task to photograph both children and dogs.  "It was one of the best photo sessions, Andrey was able to show the two things I couldn't live without, dancing and dogs."

"And of course for a person who has been photographing dogs for the last 20 years - it's more difficult to work with kids, especially when they are so young.

"I became interested in the "kids and dogs theme" when I saw the works of Elena Shumilova and C.Murray who shoot similar scenes.
