Photographer Dan Bannino recently adopted a dog from a rescue shelter and it changed his life forever.
To celebrate, he decided he wanted to give his new pet, Rothko, and millions of other rescue dogs a voice by creating a new photo series entitled Poetic Dogs.
Bannino wrote on the project’s IndieGoGo page: “#POETICDOGS is a photo-project where dogs are besides famous writers: Speaking through their expressions, sounds and movements, they’re telling you everything saying nothing, just like an author would do with words in a fine poem.”
All the dogs featured in the series are from the same kennel near Turin, in Italy, where Bannino’s dog, Rothko, was adopted from.
Charles Dickens
Charles Pierre Baudelaire
Edgar Allan Poe
Emily Dickinson
Ernest Hemingway
James Joyce
Leo Tolstoy
Mark Twain
