The Beauty and Pathos of Shelter DogsBy YimFinding Home: Shelter Dogs and Their StoriesI have worked with Traer professionally and can attest to the acute connection that she makes with her canine photographic subjects. Clearly; she has been a dog in a past life and I say this with absolute conviction and only the highest regard for that quality. Without sentimentality or anthropomorphology; Traer is able to capture the essence of the spirit of the dogs she photographs. In many instances; that spirit has been considerably dampened but somehow she is able to find the pathos and latent generosity inherent in each dog. Beyond the beauty and reality of the portraits; is her accompanying text. Without blame or grandstanding; Traer presents the facts of shelter life and how both dogs and rescue volunteers are hanging on hope. Will we see an end to pet overpopulation in our lifetime? With perspectives such as those of Traer Scotts; we may just see real progress.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful.

Its an incredible journey that some of these shelter dogs take and touched me personally since I remember some of these pups going through the system when my girl rescued us!
