Finding Strength in Imperfection

The goal of my project is to highlight dogs with limitations or abnormalities and show that they are not pitiful, as they have something that deviates from the "normal" image society has created. With this project, I want to introduce people to who these dogs truly are behind their limitations or abnormalities. Their limitations or abnormalities are not the definition of who they are, but they do play a role in their identity. These dogs are so much more than that! They are great friends for life and even great working dogs that one can't do without.

Through my project, I want to give these dogs a voice and show how much value they add to our lives. I want to show that these dogs are just as valuable as any other dog and that they are not pitiful, but rather an inspiration for us to make the best of our lives. This project is a tribute to these dogs and their owners and I hope it will inspire others to have the same love and appreciation for dogs with limitations or abnormalities.
