Harry is a georgeous old Doberman-cross who I photographed in early 2007. He was a rescue and was living a lovely life on a big property out of town with his two wonderful humans and two other rescued doggies. I had a call from one of Harry’s Mums during the week. Harry had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and did not have long to live. I promptly cleared my schedule and arranged to go out and spend a whole morning with the family. Harry was having a good day and I’m so glad I managed to get some beautiful photos of him enjoying the sun, sitting by the fire and chasing his big old ball around the yard. Sadly, Harry passed away a couple of days later. All I know is that Harry was so lucky to have been rescued and given the opportunity to live a good life in his last years.
OOoooooooo I adore this one. I’m sure his owners continue to cherish this photograph.
Mia, makes me teary every time I hear the story of Harry being photographed just a few days before he died. What a great story, he was beautiful.
So sad, but so wonderful to see our lovely lad, Harry, on the net, and so near to his anniversary. We are so thankful to have Mia’s wonderful photos of Harry, and of Millie and O Be Joyful.
What a wonderful photo Mia, Harry looks so handsome in it! His story made me a bit teary…
