Recently, I had the opportunity to photograph Mel, a sweetheart of a dog that had a leg amputated about a month ago. He was such a great creture to work with.

Mel is undergoing chemo treatment to knock out the cancer that cost him is leg. His best friend, Catie Wightman, is accepting donations for the chemo and the amputation. Check out Mel’s blog at http://melsmom.tripawds.com/ and his Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mel/206416653352?ref=sgm&v=wall#!/pages/Mel/206416653352?v=wall&ref=sgm
