Playing
Sammy, by Martim, 13 years old.
“Here he was playing with my sister’s hair.”
Ollie, by Marta, 9 years old.
Benji, by Rodrigo, 10 years old.
“Benji’s a very lively dog and sometimes he starts running around the garden. But he doesn’t run like a normal dog. He’ll go running, hit his paws on the wall and give a thrust to the other side. He goes running and comes back, then he gives a thrust again, then he goes, then he does that thrust… But it’s also impossible because he doesn’t keep still, it’s all blurry!”
Simba, by Matilde, 12 years old.
“Here was my mum playing with a straw. He spends a lot of time playing with us, he really likes to play with us, and especially with straws. So, I think it’s also a routine already.”
Sammy, by Martim, 13 years old.
“Then it was him playing … Indoors.”
Cutchi, by Marta, 9 years old.
“Ah, it’s him on the tricycle! On the tricycle… It was me, it was me. I like to play with Cutchi on the tricycle… because I don’t have anyone else to play with.”
Denahi, by Filipa, 10 years old.
“It was her playing in the tube that’s there in the living room. I went to get the camera while she was playing, I went a little behind her and then when she got into the tube I stood by the entrance and took the photo! When she’ s in the tube you can’t touch her because she’ll bite you. She bites and scratches. because when she wants to play, she takes it very seriously!”
Lucky, by Dinis, 13 years old.
“Here I think we were by the pool or I was playing ball and I took some photos. They always lie like that. Rookie not so much anymore. Rookie is more just sideways; he never lies belly up like that.”
Xavi, by Beatriz, 8 years old.
“It’s a little rope that he likes. It has a little plastic thing on it to make his teeth stronger. So sometimes we go there like this, shake it, stretch it…. And sometimes we have to let him win because, if not, he’s not interested in playing anymore.”

Cutchi, by Marta, 9 years old.
“It’s a doll… I play with him as if he were a person my age, things I like to play with. If he didn’t like it, he’d run off! Then it would be easy to tell.”
Mia, by Rui, 12 years old.
“It’s like a piece of card that has bits of cat grass on it and it’s also compact, we put it on the floor there and she rubs against it. Then we take it away, and she keeps rubbing herself on the floor. It’s shaky because she never keeps still.”
