We had a very sweet Border Collie for 16 years who was terrified of the camera. She hated lightning and when the flash of the camera went off she'd run and hide. We could only get her in a photo if we got the camera ready and did a quick point and shoot before she knew we had it, or she was out of there, flash or no flash! We got lots of photos of her rear legs and tail exiting the scene. She then started slinking away if we held anything up to our eye, the video camera, a cell phone, a box, a wallet, etc. We only have a few good photos of her, but lots of great memories.
