Watch Dog On Duty On Board The F/V Earnest

Watching…Listening…Warning…
Aboard the F/V Earnest berthed at Fishermen’s Terminal in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, this wary dog gives a warning. While walking around taking photos, I kept hearing a dog bark. Looking around a number of times I could see nothing. Then a small movement of a curtain covering a port hole window revealed the dog on duty. His bark sounded no nonsense, so I was thankful that he was confined on board his vessel.
