The day Randy Grim got a phone call from a St. Louis animal shelter worker pleading with him to take yet another unwanted dog to his no-kill shelter, he had no idea that the dog would change his entire life.
The dog had survived a horrifying procedure still practiced in some animal shelters: “euthanasia” by carbon monoxide gas poisoning. The account of Quentin’s ordeal and the crusades Grim and Quentin have undertaken on behalf of abandoned animals is sobering, hilarious, and ultimately uplifting.
Quentin recently passed away, and Grim shared a eulogy of what Quentin meant to him. Read more here.
Elke Vogelsang began taking photographs of her three rescue dogs, Noodles, Scout and Ioli, as a way to make her husband feel better. One Christmas Day, Elke’s husband, Carsten, suffered a major brain hemorrhage and had collapsed in the bathroom. If it had not been for the dogs discovering him in time and alerting her, he may have died.
In the months that followed, Elke turned to photography as a way to establish a routine and to find something to lift her husband’s mood. She immediately tapped into the playful energy of her dogs and her portraits capture their goofy, fun-loving natures in a way no other photographer I’ve seen does. And after taking on her project, she turned to photography full time.
After his grandmother’s 100th birthday party, photographer and dog lover Pete Thorne placed an ad asking to photograph “really, really old dogs”. He wanted subjects for his photo project, a project to create simple, intimate portraits of dogs in their golden years.
In their aged, imperfect faces, he saw a depth of life, joy, and wisdom missing from more youthful subjects. He gathered these rich and powerful portraits into a web series he called “Old Faithful.”
Oogy was just a puppy when he was used as a bait dog in dogfighting. He was found severely injured, missing an ear and with deep scars riddling the side of his face.
He lay hurt and in a cage without food or water for at least 5 days before he was found by police. Larry Levin knew nothing of this when he first saw Oogy at the vet hospital. Levin and his twin boys (then 12) were taking their elderly, terminally ill cat in to the vet hospital to be euthanized. Oogy was in the same hospital, tugging on his leash while he was being walked by hospital staff. As soon as he saw Larry’s boys and broke from his leash knocking down one of his sons and smothering him with kisses.
The family were instantly smitten and asked after Oogy. They were told about his horrific ordeal and learned he was homeless. That’s when they decided to adopt him.

If your dog needs to reach the yummy treat faster, try trimming the snowflake points. Once the points are cut, there is no going back so we recommend trimming only a little at a time and then testing. The rounded base gives the Chilly Penguin a fun and challenging wobble. Stack multiple Chilly Penguins on top of one another to save on freezer space.

As a National Geographic photographer, traveling the world to capture the beauty of lions, tigers, and bears was a regular day’s work for Vincent Musi. All that changed when his son turned sixteen and he was inspired to try something different; to cultivate his roots at home and open a hometown studio to photograph dogs.
The result is The Year of the Dogs; over 100 one-of-a-kind dogs from Musi’s year in the studio matched with witty dogographies gleaned from his time spent with each subject. From a Labrador that likes opera to a kleptomaniac miniature golden doodle, and a lovable one-eyed Jack Russell to a farting bulldog, Musi captures the unique character and personality of these everyday dogs with 190 evocative images and a gently comic mash-up of his own personal life experiences. Presented in an elegant package that showcases the vitality of Musi’s photos, The Year of the Dogs will be the perfect gift book for dog lovers that they will return to again and again.
