The Taliban says it captured a U.S. military dog. A spokesperson from the NATO-led International Assistance Security Force confirmed a dog is missing, but says that it belongs to a British unit. I don’t care whose dog it is, I hate seeing an animal pay the price for decisions made by humans.
This isn’t really a Friday Fun, but it does have a happy ending. Three years ago Zak Anderegg found an starving, dehydrated puppy in the bottom of a slot canyon. It must have been then luckiest day in this poor dog’s life. Zak staged a rescue on his own and saved Riley-the-puppy’s life.
Zak has just put together a video from that rescue. It’s hard to imagine that the puppy in the video who was too weak to stand is the same dog you see today.
There’s also a book out about Riley and Zak called Rescuing Riley, Saving Myself: A Man and His Dog’s Struggle to Find Salvation.
I hope there are more reunions in Illinois.
OMG! How freakin’ awesome is this??!! Two Hands Four Paws kicks butt!!
Lick is a great photography project by Ty Foster. It came about accidentally when Ty was checking proofs from a different project and was laughing out loud at the ones of dogs captured mid-lick. I love the expressions! Ty plans to add more portraits and there will be a book.
Ty Foster does other nifty portraits of people and their dogs. There’s a collection of people with tattoos and their dogs called Dogs Ink.
