"Poetic Dogs"...

I came across the crowdfunding effort the other day, and like the idea. Thought I'd post it here for anyone inclined to toss this project some cash:

From the funding page (more at link):

POETICDOGS is the first photography project where shelter's dogs are cool as writers!

I'm Dan Bannino, an Italian based photographer and dog lover.

Almost a year ago, I've rescued my dog Rothko from a shelter and from that day on my life changed.

Rothko was found in a gypsy camp, in very poor state and after his adoption I've realized how many dogs are in the same condition all around the world and how a single adoption could change their lives and help supporting the situation in a dog shelter.

His story is just one of a millions and so I've decided to give voice to Rothko and all his four legged friends.

We'd like to share with you their stories and we are hoping to spread the idea of people finally adopting dogs, instead of buying them.
#POETICDOGS, is a photo-project where dogs are besides famous writers: speaking through their expressions, sounds and movements, they're telling you everything saying nothing, just like an author would do with words in a fine poem.
