POOF POOF! - Carmel, CA Pet Photography

POOF POOF the Magnificent is a fearless 6-month old Pomeranian with the heart of a lion. Poofy was born with only three legs and due to a recent slip-and-fall, she broke one of her three working legs! Oh no!!! So now she's down to 2! Poor Poof Poof!! She has one working back leg and one working front leg, but you shou...ld see her hop around! She is like a little wind-up-toy. You set her down and she just hops everywhere!! She is my hero!

JEOPARDY! - Mexican Hairless Dog

A Little Friends Photo was featured on JEOPARDY! - America's Favorite Quiz Show, on Monday, March 22nd, 2010. Over 9 million people tuned in to watch the show. The next day, Little Friends received 9 million phone calls and booked 9 million photo shoots. Just kidding. Wouldn't that be crazy! Here's the photo - did you see it? This rare dog breed is called a Mexican Hairless Dog or "Xoloitzcuintle", and is native to Mexico. "Xolos" as they are often called, were considered sacred dogs by the Aztecs (and also Toltecs, Mayans and some other groups) because they believed the dogs were needed by their masters’ souls to help them safely through the underworld. The doggie model in this photo is named Fiona. She resides in Los Angeles and and is owned by Scott Leibow. Congrats to both Fiona and Scott!

ANSWER: Si, señor, it's the type of dog seen here (picture shown)
QUESTION: What is the Mexican Hairless

TAILS Pet Magazine Cover - Lisa Ling

It was a pleasure to photograph Lisa Ling for the February 2010 edition of TAILS Pet Magazine. The photo shoot took place at the beautiful Topanga State Park in Los Angeles and featured a litter of adorable Shepherd-mix puppies from the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter. We had a great time and I'm happy to report that all of the puppies have found forever homes!

Special Thanks to Lisa for all that she does to make this world a better place, including her support of animals. Lisa is known for her role as a co-host of ABC's The View (from 1999–2002), host of National Geographic Explorer, reporter on Channel One News, and special correspondent for CNN and the Oprah Winfrey Show, where she investigated the hidden world of puppy mills, exposing the truth that so many people deserved to know.
