"Old." "Ugly" And sometimes just plain "Unpopular".
They're the shelter dogs nobody wants. Week after week, month after month, they sit and wait for someone to take them home. They watch as their younger, cuter, smaller, more outgoing neighbours find people to love them. They wag their tails and look out their cages and try to say "please choose me, I may not be pretty, or a puppy, but I promise I'll be a good dog." But other pooches always seem to steal their spotlight.
Until now. In an amazing stroke of creative genius, a collective of Montreal artists and dog lovers has come up with the Underdog Club. It's a way to give special dogs a better chance of finding their forever home.
The Club is an art gallery/adoption shelter. Expressive black and white portraits of dogs, taken by prominent photographers, line the walls. You can buy the gorgeous, framed pictures. But you can also leave with the model, because all of the photographed dogs are there on site, ready to go.
I love these people. I have to stop looking at the dogs on their website because I am going to end up driving to Montreal and getting several.
Fuckity FUCK. I just tried to post and upload a video. I got the following existential error message from Vox:
"Sadly, your search couldn’t be completed. You could try again, but it still might not work. The world is a very unpredictable place. For this, we are truly sorry."That sounds very, um, Protestant.
