Stamford's diversity isn't limited to its residents. Angela Strassheim captured beautiful pet portraits (while I grabbed some of those waiting in line). Costumes and accessories were optional. Capturing each canine's personal charm was the goal. The result is an abundance of cuteness! Big and small, long and short hair, these four-legged friends teach us the power of unconditional love.
Dog
by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
The dog trots freely in the street
and has his own dog’s life to live
and to think about
and to reflect upon
touching and tasting and testing everything
investigating everything
without benefit of perjury
a real realist
with a real tale to tell
and a real tail to tell it with
