Despite not fitting the mold of a typical dog, Serenity radiates the same level of liveliness and cheerfulness as any young pup. Despite facing negativity from the world around her, she remains content and grateful for the affection she receives.
I met an adorable Siberian husky who was wandering the streets in San Antonio, Texas. Unfortunately, due to a massive tumor on her face, she couldn’t find a loving home. However, there was still hope left for her when Dallas Dog Rescue Rehab Reform decided to relocate her to Dallas, Texas, to provide her with a new lease of life.
Meet Serenity! Patti Dawson, her foster parent, was immediately drawn to the cute pup’s cheerful demeanor upon meeting her. Serenity approached Patti with excitement, eager to receive some affection and attention. However, there is a sad reality that Serenity’s life may be limited. The vet confirmed that her invasive tumor has affected the bones in her face, including her nasal cavity, eye sockets, and skull. Despite this, Serenity is still able to breathe, eat, and see for now. Although some may worry that Serenity might be in pain, Dawson assures everyone that Serenity seems to be comfortable and content. Nonetheless, Dawson understands that this might change as time goes by.
Dawson stated that while the news wasn’t what they had hoped for, they won’t give up on loving Serenity and providing her with a good life. To make the remaining time memorable for Serenity, Dawson indulged her with tasty dishes and frequent play sessions. Additionally, she enlisted the help of a photographer to take stunning pictures of Serenity, which would encourage individuals to contribute towards her care.
Learn the Fundamentals of Pet Photography from Renee Dowhaniuk
Renee Dowhaniuk, an expert in animal photography, recently gained attention for capturing stunning photos of Serenity, a puppy from a shelter. The shelter shared her photos online, and they quickly went viral as people were touched by Serenity’s story and wanted to help her.
Dowhaniuk’s philosophy is to never take a sad picture of an animal. Instead, she believes in capturing the full potential and spirit of the animal. This was evident in the way she photographed Serenity. As soon as Serenity was lifted out of the vehicle and placed on the ground, her nose started working, and her tail began wagging. Dowhaniuk was quick to capture this moment, resulting in some beautiful photos that showcased Serenity’s lively personality.
This serves as a lesson for all pet owners and animal photographers – to focus on capturing the spirit of the animal rather than just taking a sad picture. By doing so, we can highlight the unique personalities and traits of our furry friends and show the world how special they truly are.
Soon, Serenity received an abundance of donations for the shelter. More than 300 packages filled with wonderful gifts for the pups flooded in. Each time she received a package, she was over the moon with excitement. It’s safe to say that she will be thoroughly pampered for the rest of her days, just as she deserves. Dawson explained that when the time comes, Serenity will bid her farewell. But, for now, she will continue to enjoy living her best life in the care of her loving foster home. If you’re interested in contributing to the well-being of Serenity or any other dog that the shelter looks after, please have a look at their wishlist.
