Mac! – Oakville Dog Photographer

It has been a hard week, Mac is another dog I photographed this week who has been diagnosed with cancer.  Getting commissioned to photograph a dog who has cancer comes with mixed feelings.  I’m honoured to have been chosen by his family to capture his smile, but I also struggle with sadness knowing what could be for their family.  I would give up every shoot I have ever had in exchange for the dogs suffering from cancer to survive.  I am truly appreciative for being chosen to capture Mac with his long time best friend.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mac’s family at the Milton Mutt Strutt last year.  They adopted a dog named Xander from the Oakville & Milton Humane Society, who my partner and I walked and played with on many occasions during our volunteer time.  They are the sweetest and most loving family, and they gave Xander an amazing life and he was taken from them way to quick.  Xander lost a sudden battle to cancer a few months after they adopted him.  It has been tough year from them, but I truly believe they are strong folks with big hearts.  Whatever has been thrown at them, they handled it with strength and love.  I hope they always remember how much they gave their dogs.  You loved them a great deal and they returned that same love unconditionally, be proud of that and celebrate their lives.  Thank you again for choosing me to honour Mac!  I will always remember this day.   Oakville Dog Photographer
