I tend to disagree. The form is there BEFORE the function, definitely.

These guys need to practice a little more. One finished a little early. Would never show well in the brace class.

That poor dog with the bunny ears. Mastiffs are supposed to look distinguished. That poor dog never had a chance. Caught in a compromising position and certainly not mastiff like ears. LOL I guess I'll have to share too. LOL

I've learned one thing from all of these pictures.......
Namely, it's one way of achieving... "INSTANT ANGULATION!"
