He probably hasn't a clue she exists, but he should be very honoured to share names with her. To be honest though, she's not actually very impressed.
Tyler Hilton (singer) seems like a lovely boy, and we wish him every success, but the real Tyler Hilton is our office dog. She's Jo's one year old miniature schnauzer, and she's been a full member of the team here since she was a little ball of fur, with special responsibilities for greeting new people (tail in the air and "urrrrr........wooof!"), welcoming people she's met before back to the studio warmly (few happy whimpers and a happy sounding urrrrrr with a waggy tail) and saying hello to the postman ("arf arf arf growl arf woof!"). She puts everyone at their ease and having her around allows us to have a bit of a breather with doggy play-time when things get stressed and hectic.
She's become a real favourite with customers and business acquaintances. Our bank manager schedules extra time for a doggy cuddle whenever she comes to see us, and kids love to talk to her while we're talking to Mum and Dad. Although those eyebrows can make her look cross, she has a very playful, gentle and even temper, and if she's noisy at all it's because she's saying hello and joining in the conversation. Being a schnauzer means she doesn't shed hair all over the place, and like Barak Obama's Portuguese Water Dog, she doesn't irritate allergy sufferers. Most of the time she stays in her basket in our office, and pads in and out of the viewing and editing room to see what we're up to. She refuses to go near the studio, though. Perhaps she prefers her photos to be taken using natural light. Some models insist.
This week people have been telling her that she looks like Dangerous Dave (the new Toto).
We think she's prettier. And her beard's longer. Tyler, at Hilton Sanders Photography, the 3rd member of the team.

Oh - by the way, I might as well mention that we welcome well behaved dogs to our studio shoots because we know how important the furry members of the family can be. If you'd like to bring your dog along for some photos, just let us know!
