Sheba’s feet look like she’s been playing in the wet mud somewhere.
Hope you are well.
It is so true. Your picture of a healthy dog taking a nice rest is a brilliant way to illustrate our readiness to be deceived by the pictures presented in media. We take in what we see. How often is the truth something completely different?
I am looking forward to hearing the story behind it.
I know there is not starvation in Niger, so I’m guessing that perhaps this dog sick? I see some ribs showing slightly.
If you only had a stuffed vulture you could place in the picture, imagine what fundraising you could do!!!
