Session notes: 
Oh Flashy. 
This dog tears at my heartstrings. She's so so fearful, but she doesn't seem to want to be.
Most of the super fearful dogs photographed in this project came from the same kennel -I've heard some stories, and if they're true, it makes sense that they have such serious trust issues. That they are so scared.
For Flashy to actually look at me is a win. At her house, on walks, and in my studio this day. At the studio she wouldn't look at me when she stood in position, but she did hang on the 'sleddie sofa' and I managed to catch a pose.  
Flashy is sporting a GPS collar - it's come in handy, so on it stays.

Flash passed away February 2022.
