Our friendships with animals make us better humans

Ever since picking up a camera, I’ve been inclined to turn it towards our furry friends. I find our relationships with animals to be some of the most fascinating because they transcend language and species, and prove to be some of the deepest connections we make in this life. It is, most often, a friendship born of the desire to love, and be loved in return.

He learned very quickly that bigger dogs have much bigger borks.
