EDITORS COMMENTS
This black-and-white photograph, taken in 1958, showcases a charming Chow Chow dog named Buckley, who was a cherished pet during that time. The image, captured at Adel Tanglin in an unknown location, beautifully showcases the distinctive features of this ancient breed. Buckley's coat, a mix of thick, dense, and coarse fur, is a striking combination of blue-black and red-gold hues. His unique physical attribute, a dark tongue, contrasts dramatically with his blue-black gums, adding to his intriguing appearance. Chow Chows are one of the oldest dog breeds, originating from China around 200 BC. They were originally bred as hunting, herding, and guard dogs. This versatile breed is known for its independent and stubborn nature, which can be seen in Buckley's expression as he pants heavily from exertion or the heat. The Chow Chow breed is also famous for its "blue tongue," which is actually a result of a genetic condition called melanin hyperpigmentation. This photograph, taken over six decades ago, offers a glimpse into the past and showcases the timeless beauty and uniqueness of the Chow Chow breed. The image captures the essence of a beloved pet, a companion that brought joy and companionship to its owner, Buckley. The photograph's ability to transport us back in time and connect us with the past is a testament to the power of a single image.
