Amazing pictures. You can feel the sadness in #68 (except from the apathetic lady in pink).

I once saw a poster that answered the question of why God invented dogs.
So US Marines could have someone to look up to.
That’s a great line!
For some reason, I can’t see any photos on that page (Firefox and IE both)…
Yea they were down when you posted that.. they are working again though!
where are the pictures? seems like the denver post need some fresh blood in their IT department.
They are working again!
Wow you weren’t joking about picture 68, made me go start playing with my dogs. I honestly couldn’t part with those furry bastards ever.
Its almost painful to see innocent animals forced to take part in the savagery of mankind.
