Within the pages of this book, the faces of Colorado鈥檚 canines have been captured in an effort to showcase their personalities, as well as highlight the importance of dogs in Colorado culture.听 I think providing outlets for animal photography helps people see that each individual animal has its own personality, and thus works to encourage seeing the similarities between humans and members of other species rather than the differences.听 Although the primary purpose of my photobook is to make the viewer smile, I hope that it also encourages discourse on the current state of how we as a society treat other animals.听 Because Colorado culture is so closely tied to dogs, I produced this book as a way to encourage this thought process to hopefully begin to take hold among viewers.听
