Eve's Rescue


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Eve's Rescue
Eve's Rescue

---------------
Eve was abandoned and left to die. Her illness was akin to the human disease, GERD, but much, much worse. She could not keep any food down at all.
--
But Eve was a lucky dog because someone found her and brought her to the Animal Shelter where she was adopted by a caring, loving couple, who is nursing her back to good health.
-------
At the Delaware County SPCA chapter's "Bark in the Park" annual Fall Festival on October 31. It rained all day; I photographed Eve as she relaxed in a makeshift "nest" under one of the booth tables.

Beautiful capture and lovely story, with a happy end! After all, dogs are so unconditionally loyal to humans that they do deserve all care from us. This week end I spend a great time in the countryside with my sheppard Nika.

  What a wonderful story and great photo of Eve's rescue. She looks like an American Bulldog. They always look like they have pink eye! I know a few people who "rescue" dogs. They are wonderful and are so caring!

  This is a heart-warming image, Michelle! Especially after losing 99 cats and 12 dogs because of a fire in our local Second Chance Animal Shelter this weekend. I love this photo .. your "still" seems to have brought Eve's eyes to life.

  Yes, Eve was certainly lucky to be found and cared for. The people who abandoned her don't really deserve to be called people at all. And this is a beautifully exposed and composed shot too. :)
