This made my heart melt....
I was reading an article in the Sydney Morning Herald's "Good Weekend" liftout and came across this in an interview with the AMAZING american photojournalist Mary Allen Mark.
As if her Photo's werent a good enough reason to love this woman.....
"I love Dogs," she says. "I adore them. When I'm teaching in Mexico I rescue dogs from the streets and make my students adopt them."
They do have mechanical dogs in their apartment, and every Christmas Mark throws a party for about 40 real dogs, with their owners in tow. They are encoraged to arrive in Limousines and dress up their dogs in costumes. "The dogs love it," she says. "they're all excited and happy and wagging their tails. They know it's a special occasion and that it's all about them. We have a different theme every year, and put out bowls of mint flavoured water. We tried putting out food but with 40 dogs, that didn't work out so well."
What about other animals?
"I'm not much for cats, I'm terrified of mice. I've worked alot with elephants and they they are extremely intelligent and sensitive and thankfully they seem to like me. You never want to get on the bad side of an elephant.
And never trust a chimp."
Awww Man!!!.......I wish I could throw a Party for Puppy Dogs,
One Day..........

How much is that doggie in the window? (Bark! Bark!)
The one with the waggely tail
How much is that doggie in the window? (Bark! Bark!)
I do hope that doggie's for sale
I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart alone
If he has a dog he won't be lonesome
And he doggie will have a good home
How much is that doggie in the window? (Bark! Bark!)
The one with the waggely tail
How much is that doggie in the window? (Bark! Bark!)
I do hope that doggie's for sale
I read in the papers there are robbers
With flashlights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggie to protect him
And scare them away with one bark
I don't want a bunny or a kitty,
I don't want a parrot that talks,
I don't want a bowl of little fishies;
He can't take a goldfish for walks.
