Even a broken camera can capture Dog love

It's nearly end of the road for my trusted Canon Ixus. It still works fine in macro settings but for normal point and shoot moments, it no longer works as intended. Horizontal lines appear in the photo and I've tried all possible manual settings combination to address the issue, to no avail. The cost of the repair might be on the high side so getting a new one is the most viable option at this point. What's interesting though is that a half-broken camera was still able to capture this:

The camera is set in sepia with no flash. They do get along pretty well in this picture. Feeding time can be a totally different scenario. The mongrel on the left is Cha-cha and the mixed breed on the right is Fudgee. They live in the Happy Mongrels shelter (aka, our home).
