This is Kropka (english: Dotty) staring at you in this picture. She is a tiny, 5kg in weigh, dog, which was looking for a home not so long ago. During my free time I try to help such dogs in finding a home by taking good pictures for their advertising. Interesting, eye-catching photo is a deciding factor in getting attention for a dog adoption advertising. Before I took the photos of her, she has been waiting for 2 months already - with no attention at all. After publishing those photos, telephones went haywire. After just one week, her caretaker chose the best home. It's a wonderful feeling when you successfully help a dog to find a new, loving family. Therefore I encourage everyone who likes to take photos of dogs to do the same. Equipment used: Canon EOS 1D Mark II + Canon EF 50m f1.8 Mark I.
