Someone said that “the eyes are the window to the soul.” If this is true, then dogs have souls. This particular puppy’s eyes tell its sad story – of being parted early with its mother.
This was taken outside a department store where peddlers sell puppies for a living. I don’t want to imagine what they do to puppies that aren’t sold. I just hope that God has a place for them.

Oh my, what a beautiful, but sad looking little creature. I wish I could adopt him right now!
Such is the fate for thousands of wonderful dogs and cats every year. What a shame. Beautiful photo Mr. Montoya. Hopefully, this will bring a little awareness to the forefront.
What a cute little puppy. Sad story though.
This image reminds me of the puppy mills that get shut down in our area quite often. These people should be ashamed of themselves.
Yes, it really is a sad, sad situation.
A poignant image with a story to tell. Photography at its most meaningful. Thank you.
You have captured my heart.
A wonderful photo that captures the heart. Surely this cute fellow will find a home. Think of the joy that cutie will bring to his owner. The love, the laughter – memories to last a lifetime.
How precious! I’d love to sdopt him myself!
Now that’s one incredible picture.. There’s no way words can describe the innocence that this animal shows. This is a pure example of when they say “A Pictures worth a thousand words.” Well done..
How precious! It’s eyes look so sad.
