Landfill Dogs: True Portraits of Shelter Pets Hardcover – January 16, 2015

by Shannon Johnstone (Author)
See all formats and editions

Landfill Dogs is at once a fine art photography project and an animal advocacy movement. Johnstone tells the stories of 108 dogs that are most at risk for euthanasia. She photographs them against the landscape of a former landfill turned public park. Below the surface, there are more than 25,000 dogs buried among our trash. It is here that these dogs are taken one at a time and allowed walk, run, jump and wish and dream.

By photographing the dogs in this environment, Johnstone creates the analogy these unwanted pets are treated in same manner as our garbage. However, the metaphor behind Landfill Dogs is that like the landfill turned into a public park, we can change this sad story into a happy one. The book concludes with 25 follow up stories of unwanted Landfill Dogs now treasured in loving homes.
