one person's journey advocating for sled dogs - rescued, retired, former, fired, or in need of help
6/12/2019 march 21, 2012The first former sled dogs I ever photographed, Magic + Cuddles on March 21, 2012.
Shortly after this we took them (and a few other sleddies) into the indoor gym for photos, but this was my first look... had I not known, I never would’ve thought they had been sled dogs. They looked and acted pretty much like any other of the 500+ dogs I’d photographed in the care of a rescue or shelter at this point... friendlier than some, more nervous than others. If it looks like a dog and acts like a dog, why can’t it just be a dog, protected under the same laws as the dogs we share our homes with? Why is protection different while they’re sled dogs but once adopted, they have (in theory) more protection? They’re the same dog aren’t they? |
