Since I started my business, I’ve come across so many amazing pet owners. Pet owners who treat their pet as a member of the family. People who don’t give up on their pet just because of a couple of health issues – people who actually do the hard work and turn a sad rescue dog into a sweet and loyal pet. Often, it’s so easy to turn our back on a challenge, and so many people will overlook a dog with health or behavior issues, not realising that often all that is required is some love, discipline, and understanding. It always warms my heart and I feel so honoured to meet these people – it always restores my faith in the world.

Beautiful Thor had a tough start to life – he went through two other homes before finally being adopted by his family. Fiercely protective and loyal, Thor is your typical big bouncy Ridgeback Cross – but despite his size, he loved nothing more than climbing up on the couch for cuddles with his mum and dad . Every time he looks at them you can see the love pouring out of his eyes. He also had this amazing range of expressions – from goofy smile, to your typical “treat” face, to a serious and sultry look. Thor suffers from arthritis, but due to the amazing care he gets, he lives a happy, full, and active life.

Thank you so much to Toni and Craig for choosing me to photograph your boy – you guys have done an amazing job with him and he couldn’t be in a more loving and wonderful household.
