WAG WEAR LOVES RESCUE DOGS ESPECIALLY PAYTON
I visited Amy Harlow and her store Wag Wear in the Village. She built this store years ago when she had two dogs and needed great things for her dogs that she couldn't find. "It's all about great accessories" says Amy. She takes pride in saying that if she were a dog, this is what she would wear. We decided to model Wag Wear on Payton, a sweet one year Dutch Shepard Mix, who is great with other dogs.

AMY LOMBARD DID INDEED GROW UP WITH ANIMALS
I first saw these photos on Feature Shoot and flipped! I reached out to Amy and here is her story about these magnificent photos.
"Before I went to my first dog event I was very deep into a terrible photographic rut. I had hit a breaking point, and I asked myself “What do YOU love? What are YOU interested in?” I looked around my room and saw my Pomeranian Sasha looking at me. Something clicked in my head and I became curious about dog culture in New York City. The Doggies and Tiaras Pageant, founded by pet fashion designer Roberto Negrin, was the first thing I found when doing my research. The moment I stepped into the New Yorker Hotel it was like I got my groove back.
BRIAN MOSS IS WALKING THE WALK
This amazing man, Brian Moss, reached out to me and I am such a fan of his charitable work. Here he shares his story:
"I own a rescue pit bull and a [once] stray cat.
I have always “talked the talk” but have never really been able to “walk the walk” beyond my own rescues and donating to various local rescue groups from time to time. Fostering other dogs would be too difficult because of my own animals, and I dont have the emotional strength to volunteer at places like New York’s “Animal Care and Control” centers

#EVERYDAYIMBRUSSELLING SAYS KYLE OF SHE AND HER POOCH MICHAEL
Kyle Landman is a dear friend who I know through Maria Cornejo and Marysia Woroniecka. Here she tells of her dog, Michael, and the journey to adopting him! "After being on the hunt for the “unicorn” of all dogs—a black, longhaired Brussels Griffon—my brother-in-law sent me a message with a picture of the cutest, bug-eyed, hairy fluff ball staring back at me. The message read: “This is Mikey. He needs a home, now. And a haircut.”
PATRICIA HAEGELE HAS HAD MANY FURRY CHILDREN
Patricia and Gerry, her husband, live in my building in midtown. I often see them walking their two lovely dogs on 57th Street. When I told Pat of my new venture she was eager to share her many stories about all the beautiful dogs they have had in their lives. Here is what she tells of her darling two dogs that she has now, "We met Lola, our twelve year old Cockapoo, when she was three year old. We discovered her at adoption day in Central Park hosted by Animal Care and Control in the summer of 2005.
ANDREA LEFT HER DESK JOB TO TAKE DOGS HIKING
Andrea Klein moved to New York City to begin her life in corporate america. One day while hanging out in central park, she saw a man walking with eight dogs that she assumed were all his. Turns out the man was a dog walker, a foreign concept for Andrea. Always a dog lover, she asked the dog walker if she could work for him and she was instantly hired. Fast forward to seven years ago, Andrea began My Dog Hikes, a company that takes the posh New York City dog out into the woods to hike.
MARIA ROBLEDO HAS A RABBIT NOT A DOG AND A BEAUTIFUL RABBIT AT THAT

She started photographing him 4 years ago on her iPhone to get her acclimated to digital and thus, the Maria Robledo feed of Cornillius began.

SEBASTIAN KIM HAS A DOG NAMED MORENO WHO LIKES TO GO ON SHOOTS WITH HIM
This is Uggie. And this is Moreno with Sebastian on a shoot. Sebastian took Uggie's portrait during his performance in THE ARTIST. Sebastian says of Mrs. Sizzle's site, " Moreno will be so psyched to be on there. All I can say is that when Moreno comes to studio shoots, he gets more attention than the models. But he's also great help on set, he makes sure everyone is focused on creating great pics!" Thanks Sebastian!

WILL ADLER SURFS AND TAKES PICTURES OF DOGS
Will shows at Danziger Gallery. As Will puts it, "I have a great relation with dogs. While I don't have one at the moment I always enjoy being around them. They tend to make their way into my work very often. I feel like their personalities come out easily when they are being photographed."
