Today I went to photograph a local resident who is probably the biggest dog lover I’ve ever met. He’s also my favorite person I’ve met since I started doing work for this paper, I feel better off as a person having met this man. He’s 75 years old, lived through meningitis and getting struck by lightning, and is probably the friendliest person you’ll meet if you take your dog walking in his neighborhood. There was a time he wouldn’t touch dogs at all.

This is his living room, maybe I’ll show what he looks like tomorrow.
