Jade & Jones(y)...photography
I met Summer at PAWS (Panhandle Animal Welfare Society) a couple of weeks ago when she assisted me in photographing the doggies and kitties for their website/facebook pictures. And let me tell you. That is one BIG job. When it comes to the dogs, someone has to go back to the kennels and get the dog out without all his kennelmates getting out. It's actually funny and chaotic, all mixed in one. After the session, Summer asked me about doing a session with her Dobermans--Jade and Jones. It was important to Summer, in particular, because Jade has cancer and it has spread throughout her body.
Summer, who serves our country, already had two-year-old Jones when she came across the urgent story of Jade on the internet. A friend on Facebook had cross-posted a cry out for help for a 10 year old female Doberman, who had been used for breeding purposes all of her life, and who was about to be euthanized at an Atlanta shelter the next day since she had cancer. It seems that her breeders had no further use for her. They just dropped her off at the shelter.
Summer--being the soft-hearted animal lover that she is--contacted the shelter. Two months later and Jade has adjusted to her new family. With total love.
Thanks Summer for being the good person you are. And thanks Jonesy, for being Jade's brother. And you Jade? May you continue to live out your doggie days in peace and happiness!
