At the GreySave picnic I was asked to photograph JJ, a blue brindle boy who had his right rear leg amputated a couple of months ago. His owners, who take in special-needs greyhounds, regularly post Facebook updates on him. Reading through his travails have been inspiring to those who know him. So at the very end of the picnic, I asked his owner if I could quickly take a few photos.
He walked out of the ex-pen and stood still as I photographed. I particularly liked how this one came out (I digitally removed his leash):
One of his owners stood behind my right shoulder and called out to him while the other owner held up his leash. When I got home I added a little more black to the picture.
I hope JJ is around a long, long while.
