"If they love me that much, why can't I love me that much," Maureen Scanlon asked herself one day.
And it's true.
It's a very common story I see in not only my Big White Dog Photography clients, but also in my dog-loving friends and, of course, myself.

Maureen and I have a lively discussion about what our dogs teach us … in their time here with us and in the days after they leave us. Right before Christmas, Maureen's beloved Brodie died from osteosarcoma, the second-most common cancer that takes our best fur friends.
We explore that and how Brodie continues to show her the way, even making occasional appearances to let her know he's still around, looking out for her and the rest of the pack.
Have a listen.
