The series include the American Stafford Terrier, the German Shepherd and unsurprisingly the English Bulldog.Less iconic breeds include the Argentine Gogo, Italy’s Cane Corso and the Dutch Kooiker Hound.Belgian Eric pulled together his skill photographing animals and his love of the beautiful game to create these hilarious images.Eric, 47, usually uses his talents for the Life On White project photographing animals both domestic and wild on white backgrounds.He said: ‘A colleague of mine has this great idea to combine our skills and the World Cup in Brazil.‘We have been collecting animal photos for just under 10 years and we had practically all the dogs needed - just adding the ones we didn't afterwards.'‘All the breeds are iconic of each country, for example the Bulldog for England and the Alsatian for Germany. 'Some were very easy to match others were a little bit less well known.’‘Life on White just had its 8th birthday. We are specialised in the photography of domestic and wild animals in front of a white background. We have around 32,000 photos of over 1,000 species.’(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
