DOGS WITH NO NAMES
"Tired Old Girl"
This photograph is one of many taken during my involvement in a special project which came to be called Dogs With No Names. Invited to participate by Dr. Judith Samson-French, DVM, the brilliant mind and caring heart behind this endeavor, my contribution began as a volunteer charged with documenting the lives of the feral dogs we encountered, and the innovative program undertaken to ease their suffering. We decided to share our experiences with others, hoping to raise awareness and much needed resources for these dogs. Learn more at dogswithnonames.com

The Book
Accompanying mankind as we explored the world, dogs have been working animals and companions for thousands of years. Evolved from wolves living on the fringe of human habitation, they have endured through history, remaining faithfully by our side. They are innocent bystanders of the changes and events that make our world such as it is today. Whether they are First Nations reserve dogs in Canada or street dogs in Brazil, they share one big problem: there are too many of them. While a domesticated species, many of these dogs are not tame enough to be companion dogs. Nor are they still wild enough to survive on their own. Caught between two worlds, they are the “Dogs With No Names.”
