probably my favorite picture of Rufus...

We met him in the mountains of utah were we camped out for a couple days back in July. This hippie dude would drive himself and his dog up there every morning and go fly fishing. the dog was great. plus he really worked it for da camera.

I started helping out a little bit at an animal shelter in the lower east side. The puppies are really sweet even though people were mean to them which makes them the ultimate troopers.

Pug on 5th ave and 9th street. So precious..

this dog is dead :(

We met these two gems in arizona I think. The puppy was SO cute. Nicky and I were enchanted, to say the least.

This is D-O-G. that's his name.

And this is Rufus!

we found this poor guy in tennessee. he must have been left behind by his owners because he was all alone and i think probably died soon after we left. we gave him water and he lounged around with us all day as we shot. when we left it was really sad because I knew there was nothing we could do for him. I wanted to name him precious but everyone kept calling him coujo. :(

I went on a road trip this summer and tried to take photos of some of the dogs I met along the way. So here are some puppies from all over the USA. more to come!
