I had the absolute pleasure of photographing the Puppy Up Walk at Hammonasset State Park on November 10. What a fabulous event to raise funds and promote awareness for canine cancer and human cancer – and their links.

A little about 2MillionDogs.org:

The story of 2 Million Dogs began with a man and his two dogs who embarked on a walk from Austin, TX to Boston, MA inspired by the loss of his Great Pyrenees to cancer. Some of you have heard the story of Hudson, Murphy, and Luke Robinson.

They walked from town to town sharing Malcolm’s story and educating people about cancer in dogs and as they built a nationwide grassroots movement, Mr. Robinson had a vision: 2,000,000 dogs walking simultaneously all across the United States for cancer. If 2 dogs could walk over 2,000 miles surely it was possible!

And that’s how the 2 Million Dogs Foundation was born and the legacy that started out with just a man who lost his beloved dog continues…

I was there to photograph the event, and to walk in honor of a very special lab named Katie who was very dear to me and many others. Katie developed bone cancer and passed away recently, she is sorely missed.

If you would like a copy of any of these photos, please email me at [email protected] for details.  If you don’t see the photo you’re looking for, please let me know; I am still editing and posting photos from the walk, maybe I just haven’t gotten to yours yet.
