We have three sweet and loving dogs, and our dogs, like all of the animals on the farm, are  always overjoyed to see Maria. The sheep moan and baaah, the donkeys bray, the chickens cluck and the dogs rush over to her when they come in from outside to get and give some loving. I never tired of taking photographs of Mafia and our animals, they speak the language of love to one another.

She is the  Ringmaster of the Circus of Love.
