to cut a long story short i took many pics at my local rescue centre of dogs, cats and small furries!
the pics are going to get published in a book!

Aww those pictures are heartbreaking, the looks on their faces, it's so sad. especially that greyhound type dog resting his head on the piglet teddy, he looks so fed up, I got a lump in my throat!

Good photo's, wouldn't it be nice to take after photo's of any that found forever homes to show the contrast of sadness & happiness.
My first dog was from a pound, my brother & I had to carry it home, as it's paw's were raw, skin & bone, it's tongue had been ripped, it had walked the streets for ages. I got such a telling off for picking such a sick dog, but my mum nursed it back to health & he gave us many years of joy.
Good luck in all you do.

oh that was my plan - but the rescue weren't up for that. i was only allowed to go one day a week and i had to let them know in plenty of time when i was coming!

also i know that some owners might not have wanted me to take pics etc....


for doing my second project i actually had planned to go down to england and take pics of the dogs in the 7 day pounds where they get destroyed. i had contacted the people who actually rescued some of the dogs from their.
so i had also planned to takepic sof the "lucky ones" that were saved and then photograph their progess from their!

but at the time it wasn't successful - i had a time limite to do my project and the rescue people at personal problems etc...

however i would still love to do it
