EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the incredible athleticism of an Alsatian dog as it effortlessly jumps over a tall barrier. Taken by an English photographer in the mid-20th century, this image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in The Clever Animals Picture Book. The dog's powerful hind legs propel it high into the air, showcasing its remarkable jumping ability. With its ears alert and tail held high, the Alsatian exudes confidence and determination. Its sleek coat glistens under the sunlight, adding to its majestic presence. Intriguingly, a man stands nearby holding a walking stick or cane, suggesting that he may be training or guiding the dog through this impressive feat. This historical snapshot offers a glimpse into early 1940s attitudes towards animal intelligence and their exploitation for human entertainment. The juxtaposition of natural talent with human intervention creates an interesting dynamic within this image. It prompts us to ponder on our relationship with animals and how we have historically exploited their unique abilities for our own amusement. Overall, this photograph beautifully captures both the physical prowess of the Alsatian dog and invites reflection on our past treatment of animals as objects for entertainment or spectacle.
