Cadfael, by Greg Christie(click on image to see it larger)
"This English Cocker Spaniel was surrendered (or rather dumped) at a Sydney shelter because of age (9.5 yrs) and chronic arthritis. He was overweight, had a couple of bad warts and could hardly walk. The law here permits to the shelter to put a dog to sleep after only two days in the case of an owner surrender (dumping). This guy was given only those two days. I have never seen a dog in such physical distress as I did that day. Needless to say I brought him home. We got him on medication, reduced his weight, cleaned up some bad warts and treated his arthritis. Now he bounds around with our other rescues like a puppy. So he can spend the rest of his years with us. This photo shows how happy he is."
"To take this photo Lynne held a treat while I got on the floor. With dogs you really need to be at their level. I bounced flash off the ceiling to avoid reflections in their eyes which are can be very difficult edit out. It was taken with a Pentax 18–55mm kit lens on a Pentax *ist D."
