Yes, I am enamored with his work; always have been, always will be. Jeff Mermelstein, is an exceptional photographer who does love shooting dogs.

"One year ago, my family decided the time was right for a dog, for us and our 9 year old son. At first, a thorough consideration of adopting a Greyhound but our son's allergies would have been at risk and I always felt that this docile giant would simply be too big.
My wife and I took a ride to the North Shore Animal League and spotted a little boy named Kito. My wife Lisa was immediately smitten with this most friendly and spirited Maltese Shih Tzu combination. I was taken aback by his only having one eye. We were told this
happened because of a snake bite in South Carolina. Who knows for sure. I had to sit on a bench and think, and pace and then thankfully I said yes.

Kito is one of us now, a true Mermelstein: we love him so very much, a Mr. Happy, truly uplifting intelligent spirit."
