Eliza Kirby, A Mans Best Friend, So it's Been Told (October theme: Connections)

A man’s best friend, or so it has been told. Dogs bring harmony and happiness. They reach into people’s hearts and connect with even the grumpiest of people. Dogs have been known to boost the wellbeing and mental state of a person through the connections they make. They are commonly brought into hospitals to cheer up the patients and make loving connections. My photograph is of my next-door neighbour’s dog, Buster, as he talks with me through the fence that separates our properties. Buster is notorious through the neighbourhood for barking. He simply will not shut up and he is far from civil. Yet, we still have this unexplained connection and love for him. And yes, he drives my mother insane, and he wakes us up in the middle of the night, but we will always love him and his kind beautiful eyes. This image is of my neighbour’s dog
