A dog, a child and some steps in this week's prompt ought to be easy to match.
Golf used to one of my favourite pastimes and this picture from 1905 has steps aplenty just off the course.

When I was a student at St Andrews in the 1950s the 18th green looked much better than this.
My grandsons and their dogs found more steps in the woods alongside the River Severn although Alby seems to be wagging his finger at me behind the camera.

Over the years the steps at my daughter's home in Michigan have been a spot to capture pictures of our grand dogs.

In 2008 when we celebrated our golden wedding at Tresco in the Scilly Isles there were no dogs (or children) in evidence. In Tresco Abbey Gardens there was a shots of steps in the distance.

This statue is said to be symbolic of the freedom of the islands.
Before we travelled to Tresco we stayed in Fowey and my daughter managed to get herself photo bombed by a dog.

And it's dogs that found a step too far.

Much enjoyed this traipse through time.
Cheers
Well, if you're going to get yourself 'photo bombed' by a dog, it might as well be a beautiful Irish Setter. We had one of those for several years & they are gorgeous dogs - plus ours, thanks to my husband's patient training, was a lovely, wonderfully behaved dog & always minded commands.
That's a cute picture of the dogs peering down the basement steps. It looks like they are conferring about what to do.
A fine collection of steps and dogs.
Some very enticing steps there. I guess going downstairs is rather a challenge for dogs.
You have a great eye for a photo. But I have to admit liking the verandah shots. I am a great fan of verandahs.
All great photos but I'm most drawn to the one of those overgrown steps along the wooded path.
You matched the prompt so well with great pictures of steps and dogs.
I love Cody and Scout: one with a tennis ball, the other with a stuffed animal. True retrievers, aren't they?
The statue reminded me of a statue I saw in Puerto Varas, South Chile this past summer. It was all made of metal of a maiden looking out onto the lake.
I particularly like that statue of the 3 children, very unusual. I am so glad I don't have to climb any of those steps. Great pix.
What a nice statue. I like that.
All enjoyable pictures as usual Bob and I particularly like the King of Prussia as I have happy memories of listening to live music there when we stayed in Fowey.
Always love the dog shots, especially the yellow labs! A family never seems complete without a dog!
a very fine collection of dogs and their persons,,,,what is the King of Prussia place where your daughter poses?
Yes, I'm with Patricia...tell us more about the King Of Prussia place. I don't know anything about it but it looks very interesting.
Pat and Alex - The King of Prussia in Fowey, in Cornwall, is a pub that serves great grub.
We always eat there when we visit our son who has an apartment in the town.
Now I have to find out how the pub got its name.
