Photographer stunningly transforms shelter dogs into famous writers

Almost a year ago, Ive rescued my dog Rothko from a shelter and from that day on my life has changed. When I adopted him I realized how many dogs are in the same condition all around the world and how a single adoption could change their lives and help supporting the situation in a dog shelter. Rothko came from a difficult situation, he was found in a gypsy camp and was taken to my local kennel, where after a few weeks I had the luck to meet him. Living with Rothko Ive learned how to understand his moves and Ive learned to listen to his silent words and for this reason Ive realised how dogs are similar to writers: speaking through their expressions, sounds and movements, theyre telling you everything while saying nothing, just like an author would do with their words in a fine poem. My new best friend and his love served as motivation for starting my series called Poetic Dogs, where shelter dogs are associated to my favourite writers. Ive started this series on June and Ive just completed it a month ago.
