Item Description
- This photo of Willa, who was a shelter dog at Salt Lake County Animal Serivces, is one of my favorites. The Salt Lake County Pit Crew, is a program that I have been involved in heavily for nearly two years through my work with Best Friends. The SLco Pit Crew is a shelter based adoption program that also provides outreach, education, training and spay/neuter to the community. We were doing an outreach adoption event with our Pit Crew dogs when the Unified Fire Department was out and about. They stopped to meet the dogs, and they fell in love with all of them; however, Willa in particular. The firemen all took turns holding her and posing for photos with here, then placed her in the fire truck....I love this photo, not only for the colors and composition; however, but also for the imagery of Willa, the Pit Bull Terrier as a true hero, as so many pit bull type dogs are!
Item Special Note
About the artist: Melissa Lipani is the Pit Bull Terrier Initiative Coordinator for Best Friends Animal Society. "I love photography and feel that I have an opportunity to tell the stories of thousands of pit bull terrier type dogs and their families, and those looking for a forever home through images that tell stories and show each individual dog's unique and invididual personality. I truly love when one of my images encourages someone to see pit bull type dogs like every other dog, and moves them emotionally. For that reason, I always try to find a new way to present the dogs to the viewer and let the dog in the image tell the story.
