This Is Who We Are: Photography by Susan Sabo

Susan Sabo takes her dog photography beyond pretty pictures this Friday with her show This Is Who We Are.  It will feature a collection of dogs who need homes immediately, with the shelter representatives standing by to answer questions and provide information.  Also, all prints are available for purchase with proceeds going to the dog’s shelter, donated in the buyer’s name.

Facing the reality that this is who we are:

We don’t spay or neuter our dogs.
We chain them in the backyard.
We beat and kick them when they don’t "behave."
We abandon them in shelters, where they’ll likely be killed.
We abandon them in the streets, where they’ll likely die of starvation.
We kill their spirit, their will to live.
We break their hearts.

Susan uses her talent and drive to make change — brilliant on so many levels.  I’m only featuring the invitation photo (above) and Susan sharing her mathematical equation on dog love (below) since she plans to reveal the rest of the photos opening night.  Photo books will be available after the sale as well.  I’ll get a link if she’s selling online.
