Zeta, almost one year later.

We had a follow-up photo shoot with Mary Shannon Johnstone for her ongoing Landfill Dogs project.

We were all very happy with how the day went, even if it got strangely and suddenly cold and windy. Zeta did great and was on her best behavior. She walked right with us, was very confident in her walk and was glad to show off some of her new tricks. She did not bark at the strangers she saw, though they were all at a distance. She played a little fetch and ate some grass.

...she's getting better at catching.

March 2014, we'd taken a scared, scraggly dog to have her photo taken. Physically she was just starting to heal and we had no idea how damaged she was psychologically. Mary Shannon was very understanding, but Zeta's behavior was inappropriate and she probably just wasn't ready.

This is one of her old photos. If you look closely, you can see that she'd had puppies recently. Her fur is pocked and dark. Her ears are ragged. There are sores on her leg. We fixed all those things, and today she is happy and healthy.

All she needs now is a family. She deserves it.
