Gratuitous Dog Photos - Victoria Waddle

It’s time for gratuitous dog photos! I’m going to be chatting with a high school creative writing class this Wednesday, and I thought it would be fun to post some photos of the dogs discussed in The Mortality of Dogs and Humans. One thing that is certain—I take about 1,000x the photos that I used to take now that smart phones are a thing. But I do have a few pictures going back about thirty years. So here are the five pups who star in the book: Pongo, Fletcher, Zainy, Loki, and Curiosa.
