{MARTIN: I love the shelter. I
love these people. I love the
opportunity, as I said and I’m
not kidding, that they allow me
to do this. It’s probably one of
the most gratifying things I
do}
{STILWELL: The fact that he does
spend his time taking such
beautiful photographs of these
dogs and getting people to come
down here and getting these dogs
out of the shelter-- adopted.
That’s why we were like ’this
guy, we love his dedication. We
want to recognize him.’"}
