I'm watching an interview with Sunita Williams right now in which she brings out her dog, Gorby. She mentioned that she put him in her space suit and got an official photo of him taken and I'm really curious to see that photo. Does anyone have it on hand?

Is that the dog she had when she was on 'The Dog Whisperer'?
Which reminds me, does anyone have a high-res of this Rick Sturckow photo?

Yes, that was Gorby when Suni and Leland Melvin appeared on "The Dog Whispirer." Suni also discussed Gorby with Cesar Millan when he interviewed her from space.
With regards to the photos, my understanding is that they are treated like family photos, which are private unless the astronaut chooses to release them publicly (e.g. by posting the photo to Twitter or Facebook).

I recall seeing those photos during the time of her first expedition to the ISS when she flew there on the shuttle.
