Missed that one from March @LoyaltyOfDogs !
Do we have this one yet? Scrolling 7 pages seems arduous- and anyway, if so he's still cute. It's another DC., General White and staff.

Sitting at the feet of the second seated man from right. Dog seems to be looking up at his boss. Brown/white terrier ?? Ghostly image due to dog moving during exposure.
To be fair, General Stoneman's dog does show her better side in other photos from the same series taken near Fair Oaks, Virginia, in 1862. In this one, she's visibly either pregnant or nursing. Wish we had a picture of her pups
I've always struggled to like Stoneman and this image helps hugely! Of course, tend to have a little of the same problem with Custer albeit for different reasons- but all those dogs means somewhere in there both men were big old softies.
Show me someone who actively dislikes dogs and I'll seriously wonder ' What's up with that? '
And now, has anyone spotted a second dog in this scene?A dog of the 30th New York Light Artillery (courtesy of Joseph Maghe). The battery's dog has pride of place in this portrait.

Now that you mentioned it...a little to the left and in the next group of men.And now, has anyone spotted a second dog in this scene?
Yes indeed, here he is!Now that you mentioned it...a little to the left and in the next group of men.
Amen to this sentiment!
I like this photo. From what I can see that pooch has that dog "smile". He looks to be of good size and solid weight. Seems he was well taken care of.I am pleased to add this photo with the kind permission of its owner, Codie Eash, who has posted it on his Facebook page in hope of finding some information to identify the unit or location. Mr. Eash, a writer and historian, received the photograph as a gift from his paternal grandfather when, as a child, he first expressed an interest in studying the Civil War. Among the interesting details is a large dog lying beneath the chair of the soldier at the right of the scene. Beside them is what appears to be a bucket. The accompanying photos on Mr. Eash's page show a portion of a handwritten note on the back that is cut off and, unfortunately, offers little information other than what appears to be the word "Mass" and some obscure numbers. Garry Adelman of the American Battlefield Trust suggested the location could be the Parade Grounds at Fort Monroe, Virginia. If anyone is familiar with the photo or has information that might aid in identifying it, you may contact Mr. Eash through his Facebook page. I'm eager to hear what members might know. Thank you.

Looks like the photographer told them all to look off to their right, but three of them (top center & the 2 bearded gents seated on the left), figured "I'd better keep an eye on this guy!
