November 8, 2009 – Izzy is a famous dog. He has traveled widely, been all over TV and been photographed countless times. He is a remarkable creature. I never refer to him as a rescue or abused dog, he is simply a dog who lived alone on a farm for some years and now lives with me. There is nothing piteous or abused about him. Wherever I go, he watches me,and he seems to understand photography as well as he understands hospice work or anything else I ask him to do.
 When I started taking photos, Izzy was with me. He still is. Izzy gets it.
