I Was Told To Watch Out For This Dog When I Was Photographing Him At A Rescue. Instead I Adopted Him

ADVERTISEMENT

My name is Deanna Hurt and I’m a pet photographer in Colorado, AKA StinkDog Photos.

When my schedule allows I take photos of dogs available for adoption. Once I was taking photos of this all black pit bull – chow mix and my handler said, “you better back up, I’m not so sure about this one.” I didn’t get that vibe from him he just seemed a little nervous. What I saw was a dog that was wondering, “will you be kind to me?”

About a month later my husband and I were thinking about adopting a dog and I remembered him. It turns out Boo Radley hadn’t been adopted yet so we brought him home for an overnight visit to see if he would be a good fit for our family. It turns out as soon as he was out of the shelter he was a big goofball and a super squishy love bug. We filled out the adoption papers as soon as the shelter opened in the morning.

Not only is he my best furry friend and part of our family it turns out he’s been an amazing model too. He loves to learn new tricks and he’ll do anything for cheese. Here are a few of the photos I’ve taken of Boo Radley the last few years. He’s not a dog you need to watch out for he’s a dog you want to watch because he’s hilarious.

I'm a 3rd year Photography major at Memphis College of Art and this semester I have a photo internship at the local shelter. This images are amazing but none of our shelter dogs would ever sit still long enough to do any of that.

Hi Elizabeth, These were taken after Boo was adopted so it's a bit easier since he feels secure in his environment and we do training and play a lot so he has a pretty good idea of the things I'm asking him to do by now. It is a bit harder for dogs when they are still in the shelter there are so many new sounds and experiences for them to handle. Thanks for helping the animals in Memphis!!

Deanna, I loved hearing this story when you told it to me and it was great to read about it again. Every time I hear of an otherwise unwanted, homeless fur baby getting a home it's such a great feeling of comfort!!!
