August 26, 2015, Los Angeles- To celebrate National Dog Day, I spent the day with my best friend Henry, my four legged furry companion, who has been by my side since his rescue from the streets of Los Angeles in 2007. Henry loves to swim, hike and play fetch (he’s a black lab mix) so we started the day off with a hike at Runyon Canyon and then a game of fetch and swim in my neighbor’s pool with his dog Laci. What a life! Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, my neighbor then invites me to The Perfect Exposure Gallery on 6th street to see photographs of yes…you guessed it, dogs! After a nap and dinner, it was time to attend the big event. Here are some of the photographers that I met:
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
On National Day of the Dog we celebrate Man’s Best Friend in all his glory. From the loving domestic sidekick to the wild dogs of Africa; the agile canine athletes traversing Alaska to the work dogs tirelessly herding livestock in Florida; the fearless animals rescuing victims of tragedy and still others donning the latest fashion trends. The Dog is often revered and sometimes overlooked, but always in need of more recognition because we humans can learn so much from these faithful, loving and humorous animals. Amateur and professional photographers from across the globe have presented images to benefit LA Animal Services.

Thanks so much for my 15 minutes of fame!
Good job, Susan. We love supporting talented women!
Dear Susan…after reading this story on the exhibition it looks as tho “A dog is woman’s Best Friend.” It also sounds like you have created a happy life there. The past is prolog for the future…and yours looks bright. Sincerely , Bruce
