This is Winchell's portfolio shot. If we ever become show biz parents, this is the shot we'll put in her portfolio. This picture was taken a couple of years ago when one of my reporters needed a dog model for a story she was doing on how students do homework. The idea for the photo was to take several shots of a kid getting distracted doing his homework, by TV, by sports, by video games, and in the last panel, he's reduced to telling his teacher that the dog ate it. We failed at getting Winchell to take a bite of the homework. Maybe if we'd smeared it with peanut butter we'd have had better luck. In any case, I think it was pretty good we managed to get her to sit in the chair and stay there for the time it took to take this photo.
After the photographer was done, she leaped from the chair and made a run for the door of the studio. She didn't get far; the studio's in the basement of the newspaper building. She did get some treats for being such a good model. I believe we gave her the leftover chips in the bag.
