FANS RAISE MONEY FOR BASSIST’S INJURED DOG WITHIN A SPAN OF HOURS
Bassist David Flinn from the band Chelsea Grin recently appealed for help because his dog, Solo, suffered an injury. Solo broke three fingers and his growth plate and required surgery costing about $2,300. Word spread, and fans of the band raised more than what was needed for Solo’s treatment in just a few hours. Here’s Flinn’s response:
You are the best fans in the world and I promise with every ounce of my being that I will make it up to you all. I love you all and cant wait to see you at a show. I will update you with videos and pictures od how solo is doing. Once again thank you soooo sooooo sooooo sooooo soooo soooo soooo sooo much!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad to hear everything went well. (Photo from the Chelsea Grin Facebook page)
Long live the often maligned metal community.
Long live dog love.
PHOTOGRAPHER TOURS SHELTERS TO HELP DOGS GET ADOPTED - “Our mission is to provide shelter staff and volunteers with the resources to successfully groom and photograph shelter pets, helping give them the second chance they deserve.”
The One Picture Saves a Life initiative teaches animal shelters how to groom and photograph the shelter animals to present them in the best light (probably both literally and figuratively) for adoption. Photographer Seth Casteel is currently touring various shelters in the U.S. to put on workshops. You may be familiar with Casteel’s Underwater Dogs series. The photos above are examples of how different the dogs look depending on how they are presented.
In addition to Casteel, John Paul Pet, The Animal Rescue Site, GreaterGood.org, and the Petfinder Foundation are all partners in this endeavor. Click here to learn more about One Picture Saves a Life. You can also donate to this cause by clicking here. (Photos from One Picture Saves a Life)
