Submitter jim shares this sweet shot of dog Tayah and her human friend, 18-month-old Josh, enjoying some quality time in the park. Tayah, a 2-year-old Rhodesian ridgeback, looks like she could get used to this kind of attention! ‘This wasn’t posed,’ jim explains -- just one of those great moments when magic happens and someone happens to have a camera at the ready.

Think your animal photo should be our reader photo of the day? Show us by heading to the Pets & Animals category of Your Scene, The Times’ photo-sharing site, and selecting the album that’s the best fit for your photo (for instance, we found jim’s photo in one of our favorite albums, Best Babysitters). Once you’ve chosen your album, just click the ‘submit’ link at the top of the page, pick your photo (.jpg format) and include a caption that tells us a little about the animal or animals in the photo -- it’s as simple as that!
