Description
Thank you for viewing my original photography. © Xueling Zou -
In May 2009, after travelling to the beautiful old city Salta in northern Argentina, we drove to Tilcara, a small pueblo introduced to us in our tour book for its unique architecture! What amazed me was to see so many beautiful homeless dogs. A young female tourist like us bought a bag of hot dogs to feed them, but they sniffed a second and walked away uninterested. From the eye contact, I realized they were not in need of food at the moment... Every time I see there are so many spoiled dogs, those lonely eyes, expecting only love or a caring family are appearing in my head... Please look into his eyes and see if you get the same message as I did. I thought I should paint him, but I still can not... This was one of those dogs I captured, we were not able to bring them home...

Zueling this image reaches far into our heart, providing we are ready to "look".... Those "hairy angels" are always there for us.. reay to teach us... if we just allow them into our lives ! ...

A story that's sad, to be sure, but at least for a moment you gave him (or her) a tiny bit of joy. It is fitting that through him so many people (139 as of 10/28/11) might be reminded that they have the power and opportunity to take in a homeless dog or cat. A perfect name for an animal thus adopted would be, of course, "Kismet".

My heart just breaks looking at this photo.....it is so compelling! I have 9 animals at home, which I refer to as my "domestic zoo" and they are all adopted from shelters or found their way to me by circumstance. Wish we could all do more to insure that more animals have families to love them.

Xueling, Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this! Such a beautiful and kind dog. It's always hard when we cannot immediately do something for them. You captured him wonderfully!
