Tonic, the update for what ails you

Back in December I met and photographed a lovely English Bulldog named Tonic. She was in the care of the Victoria Bulldog Society (VBS) and awaiting dental surgery. She needed it badly. So many of her teeth were just rotten and the inside of her mouth looked incredibly painful with inflammation.

Last week, the old sweetie got her dental surgery and while under anesthetic she got her ears cleaned and some lumps and bumps removed. She's doing amazing - her stitches come out this week and although her ears are still giving her problems (currently under investigation), she's living it up by trundling around her neighbourhood, meeting new friends,  looking as cute as ever... and napping.

I met up with her again and finally got to meet her foster brother Tanker and Gertie, the permanent fixture with VBS.

When I arrived, all three dogs came up to me to investigate and the first photo below is the result. Catching dogs in that moment of investigation and interest in a new person can work to my advantage. And although I caught a couple more of the three of them together - a little more posed with a bit more help from Mel - this was completely unposed and it gave the dogs the chance to show their true, interested selves.

A couple visitors came to the park while we were there - Rio and Casper - so Tonic and Gertie greeted in their bulldog-y way. All snorts and snuffles and awkward play. 

We finished off with a group photo, showing Mel, the founder of VBS who does it all. 
​
These photo sessions are part of a larger project coming up (which I'm so excited about), so can only share a few photos  at the moment. I hope you enjoy!​

Thanks Mel, Tonic, Gertie + Tanker
