Unconditional love given to us by our beloved four-legged friends enriches our daily lives and the life lived within our homes.

“I think dogs are the most amazing creatures;
they give
unconditional love.
For me they are the role model for being alive.”

—Gilda Radner

“The dog is the perfect portrait subject.
He doesn’t pose.
He isn’t aware of the camera.”
