Check out the new edition of Baltimore Dog Magazine. There’s a terrific story about Maggie the bloodhound called, “And Maggie Makes Five” by Denise Iannatuono, Baltimore Dog Mag editor. I won’t spoil the story, but I will say that after a bizarre and terrifying stay away from home, Maggie is home again, and enjoying all of the comforts of life.

I connected a few months ago to shoot this story with Denise, and I really enjoyed doing it. Maggie was a bit camera shy, in fact, she tried her hardest to look away quite often! Bailey says sometimes dogs “get afraid of the click-snap noise,” whatever that means. Despite her efforts to elude the camera, we still got some adorable shots.

Maggie had a little trauma, and so did her family, but they fought hard for her and won in the end. The story is an uplifting one about the lengths to which people will go for love. Maggie is grateful for sure; she’s enjoying all the comforts of life now. Maggie, it was a pleasure to meet you, and thank you to Baltimore Dog Magazine for the opportunity. Pick up a copy, people. It’s a great article!

Welcome to the new site. I’m looking forward to journaling about my past and future four-legged photoshoots and adventures 2 feet off the ground. I went to photograph Marco Polo, an awesomely loving and boisterous Pit Bull Terrier mix today for Recycled Love Rescue… and he is the sweetest guy. Marco has TONS of energy, so he needs a yard, and maybe some big, rambunctious kids to beat up on him for a few hours a day, but I could tell in the time I spent with him that he is super smart, very lovable and happy! He’s always smiling!

This is what his Foster Mom, Melissa has to say about marco:

Marco is a wonderful, goofy, big boy that loves to play and hang out on the couch. He seems to be house-trained and even knows a few tricks (like giving paw). Marco does need structure and stability, he is a big guy who sometimes does not understand his own size. He loves other dogs (but not cats) but I would only recommend him for homes with dogs around his own size as he can be a bit overwhelming for smaller dogs. He is a total love bug, thinks he is a lap dog, and is very obedient.
 
He has a very loving personality and wants to do nothing but give you kisses and lay on you. He is also great in a crate (barely makes a peep). I think he would make a great dog for any family, though I have not seen him around children. I do think he would not be suitable for very small children right now, though, because he still does not understand his size. All in all, Marco is an awesome dog, who learns fast and just wants to love (just look at that face!).
