Animals have an uncanny ability to both charm and disarm us, especially if you’re on the receiving end of a stare-down when you least expect it. Ever had a late-night close encounter with anonymous glowing eyeballs while camping? Enough said.

Over the course of almost two decades, photographer Ed Panar was the recipient of enough curious looks from creatures big and small that he decided to compile his favorites into a book, Animals That Saw Me. You’d think he would be used to getting a funny look or two from some of his subjects, but, as he shares with us, it’s a special experience to get a cold, hard stare from a member of the animal kingdom.

Q. When did you first come up with the idea for the book?

A. Ed Panar: “Part of my process includes sorting through piles and piles of pictures. After a while, I noticed there was a growing stack of photographs with animals in them — and the pictures of animals looking straight at the camera always seemed to stand out to me. So I came up with the title, Animals That Saw Me, and the idea that I should flush out the concept into a project. I became more aware of making these photos, and I was more consciously searching for new ones. Although, for this kind of picture to be successful, it requires an element of genuine surprise, so it’s not really possible to predict how or when the next image may appear.”

Q. You took these photos over 17 years in diverse locales like Brooklyn, Big Sur, Tokyo and Newfoundland. I imagine you had a lot of images to sort through, so how did you whittle them down?

A. “I wanted to focus on pictures in which there was a feeling of connection or awareness of me by an animal in a nondomestic setting. So although I do have a lot of pictures with animals in them, once I decided on this criteria, the number of contenders got smaller. There were a lot of close calls and near-misses, but I had to distinguish between ‘animals that saw me’ and pictures that felt more like I was doing most of the looking.”

Q. What is it about this subject that so intrigues you?

A. “I love the feeling of being observed by them, instead of the usual other way around. There is something deeply mysterious and humbling about the gaze of another living being. I’m always reminded of how vastly different the world must be to animals, even though we sometimes share the same space and environment.

I’ve also always been mesmerized by photography’s mysterious relationship to reality. To me, the difference between a photograph of a moment and the actual experience or feeling of it is like a riddle. Lately, I’ve come to realize that what I’ve been interested in all along is the fringe of the human scene, like the objects and creatures that inhabit it.”

Q. Any funny anecdotes connected to any of the images?

A. “I have to smile when I look at the goose about to take flight. I should have known better, but for some reason I thought it was a good idea to take a picture of a huffing and puffing goose. I was surprised when its feathered wings started smacking me in the head a second after that picture was taken.”

Q. Do you have a personal favorite photo in the book?

A. “I have to say the brown dog next to the white house was a great moment. I was working my way down a back street in Pittsburgh, taking a few pictures, before I felt the gaze of this dog. I must have been observed for at least a few minutes before I realized it and took the picture. The dog didn’t seem bothered at all by my presence and was simply sitting there, quiet and curious.”

Q. Has an animal ever truly caught you off guard?

A. “For me, there is an element of surprise in every image, since none of the pictures are staged. When you’re walking around in the city or the country, it’s always somewhat unexpected to find yourself observed by a nonhuman!

One particular moment of surprise was with a bull in the photo California Valley, 2008. I stopped at what appeared to be a completely empty location, with no sign of that animal at all. A few minutes later, I turned around and there he was, standing right at the fence and acting a bit confrontational. It seemed like he appeared out of thin air because I was sure that I would have noticed him before he got that close!”

As the nation prepares to commemorate the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, many Americans are reflecting on the lives lost and the brave individuals who risked their lives to help out in the aftermath.

Amid the many selfless heroes exists a group of often unsung and overlooked saviors — dogs. These four-footed troopers not only scoured the wreckage at Ground Zero alongside human handlers, but they also sprung into action as trained therapy animals and comforting companions in living rooms across the United States. Here’s a look at some of the country’s canine 9/11 heroes.

Search-and-Rescue Dogs

More than 300 canines descended on the rubble that was Ground Zero, searching for survivors and victims in the days following the tragedy. Some of the trained dogs belonged to volunteers, while others were part of professional teams. Regardless of their official capacity, the animals were invaluable to the recovery process, often belly-crawling into crevices and scaling the smoking pile of debris to find the deceased and bring closure to their families. Dogs included the late Trakr, a German Shepherd who located the last survivor buried beneath the remnants of the Twin Towers.

To celebrate a few of these intrepid canines, photographer Charlotte Dumas created a moving book, Retrieved, which spotlights 15 of the search-and-rescue pups who combed Ground Zero. (For a look at many of the dogs featured in the book, see our article and slideshow.) One of Dumas’ subjects, Red, a trained “live” find and cadaver dog, spent 11 days at the Pentagon locating remains for DNA identification, a job no less important than seeking out survivors.

Therapy Dogs

In addition to using their stellar scenting skills during the recovery efforts, numerous dogs provided much-needed solace to people directly affected by the tragedy through the simple act of comfort. Trained Animal-Assisted Therapy dogs spent time with rescue workers and relatives of victims at a family assistance center in New York City, as well as accompanied the grieving on ferry rides along the Hudson River.

For families who lost loved ones in the Pentagon, more than 40 volunteers from a group now known as Blue-Gray Spirit Keepers Therapy Dogs brought their pups to a family assistance center for a month after 9/11. In many instances, people in paralyzing shock were able to channel their profound grief just by hugging a therapy dog.

The National September 11 Memorial and Museum has posted an audio chat with Rachel McPherson, the founder and executive director of The Good Dog Foundation. The pet therapy organization worked closely with devastated families at the Pier 94 Family Assistance Center. Click here to listen to McPherson’s account of the wonderful work the organization’s dogs — including a prolific Papillon named Fidel — did during those dark days in 2001.

Our Beloved Pets

It goes without saying that animals give us one of the most beautiful gifts: unconditional love. And that was undoubtedly what helped many Americans deal with the emotions tied to such a tragic event, whether they lived in lower Manhattan or on the other side of the country, watching the arresting footage unfold in real time.

Some of these special stories are featured in an episode of a new Animal Planet series called Saved, including that of Blaze, a Dalmation who helped one New York City family cope with the loss of two firefighter brothers.

The endless devotion and support that our pets provide — even in the most trying and frightening circumstances — are truly unique traits. Just ask Michael Hingson. His seeing-eye dog, Roselle, expertly took him down 78 flights of stairs in a World Trade Center building to safety. About 15 minutes later, the tower fell.

The post The Many Faces of 9/11 Hero Dogs appeared first on Vetstreet.

For a 7-year-old boy, Evan Moss has garnered a great deal of success. This summer, he wrote, illustrated and self-published a book; got his name on a coveted Amazon best-seller list; and graced television screens across the country as a guest on The Early Show. Amazingly, Moss’ trajectory to celebrity started with a common childhood request: Can we get a dog?

But unlike most kids, the Alexandria, Virginia-based boy couldn’t simply go to his local animal shelter to find the perfect four-legged companion. Since birth, Evan has suffered from life-threatening seizures that stem from tuberous sclerosis, a condition that causes tumors to grow in organs throughout the body, including the brain. At one point, Evan’s mother, Lisa, estimates he was clocking 300 to 400 seizures a month.

Following surgery, Evan’s episodes came to a temporary halt, but then they started again. They now strike when he’s asleep, meaning that in addition to the 14 pills that Evan needs to take before bedtime, he also has to sleep with his parents, so his mother or father, Rob, can administer emergency seizure medication quickly.

Desperate for assistance — and much-needed healing rest — the family located an organization, 4 Paws for Ability, that trains dogs to assist people who suffer with seizures and in some cases, alert their owners or others that a seizure is coming on. There was just one glitch: The service canines come with a price tag of $22,000. To help offset the cost, the organization asked the Moss family to contribute $13,000.

In order to raise funds for his pup, as well as awareness about the some 300,000 other children in the United States who could also benefit from seizure service dogs, Evan put pen to paper and chronicled what it would be like to have such a special companion in My Seizure Dog. “It took about three days to write my book,” Evan says. “My favorite part of making the book? When I ran out of ideas, I came up with really funny parts, like eating pizza with the dog and going to outer space together.”

Thanks to a sell-out book signing — 650 people showed up to support Evan and buy his $10 creation — and media coverage as far away as Istanbul, Turkey, Evan collected enough to cover his dog, with funds to spare. At last count, he’ll be able to donate an additional $41,000 to pair seizure dogs with other families. “I would really like to meet the kids I helped one day,” he says. “Maybe I’ll see them in training!”

Trained seizure dogs not only afford people who suffer from the condition with more independence, but they can also help keep their owners safe. According to the Epilepsy Foundation, “A response dog might be trained to bark when a child has a seizure so that family members know what is happening, or might lie next to someone having a seizure to keep them from harm, or might even be trained to activate some kind of pre-programmed device such as a pedal that rings an alarm. A seizure alert dog might go through a number of actions that are different from its usual activities if it senses that its owner is going to have a seizure. Pawing, running in circles, coming and sitting close by, even barking directly at the person have been reported.”

“Our hope is that the dog will also have the ability to alert us to a seizure even before it begins,” Lisa says. No one knows why some dogs are able to sense an impending episode, but some speculate that it may be a change in the owner’s behavior or scent in the moments before a seizure that causes the dogs to respond.

In the meantime, Evan eagerly anticipates the arrival of his new buddy next summer. Although this may seem like a long wait, it’s a necessary part of the process: It can take up to a year to properly train a seizure dog, and the organization had to secure a specific breed for the Moss family due to Lisa’s allergies. “Recently, People magazine photographed Evan with puppies from a litter of Labradoodles that his seizure dog may come from, so we may have already seen our dog,” Lisa says. “We are expecting to officially meet Evan’s dog in June, and we are all very excited!”

Until that day arrives, Evan and his family plan to keep fans in the loop on his progress through his blog, dog4evan.com. As invaluable as his canine keeper will be to Evan, the experience has also done wonders for him in other ways. “Through writing this book, Evan has made many new friends, and he has a lot of people supporting him across the country,” Lisa says. “He frequently has people tell him how proud they are of him, that he is their hero.”

This time, the focus is on cool places abroad to get your critter fix. From pandas to prancing Spanish horses, it’s clear that Americans aren’t the only ones with a soft spot in their hearts for all things animal.

Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, China

What’s black and white and quite possibly the cuddliest thing you’ve ever seen? That’s right. Pandas. At this breeding facility and conservation center in Chengdu, Sichuan, visitors can watch the roly-poly bears in up close action. Need more convincing? Check out this photo. And this video. Enough said.

Details The center is open year-round from 8 A.M. to 6 P.M. Hint: The best time to visit is 9 in the morning — a.k.a. breakfast! Admission is $10; panda.org.cn.

Cheetah Outreach Centre, South Africa

It may not be one of Africa’s infamous “big five” game animals, but the cheetah has its own claim to fame: This spotted cat is known for being the fastest land mammal, clocking speeds of up to 70 miles per hour. At the Cheetah Outreach Centre, outside Cape Town in Somerset West, you can spend time in a pen petting adult cats and cubs. But it gets better: The sanctuary also offers visitors a chance to take grown cheetahs for a “walk” along a nearby beach — and experience handler-led cub strolls on the center’s grassy grounds.

Details The facility is open 365 days a year. There’s a nominal entrance fee, but you need to pay extra to pet such beautiful cats as Hemmingway and Enigma (from $7 for kids and $12 for adults). Cheetah walks must be booked in advance, and start at $65; cheetah.co.za.

Tortuga Lodge & Gardens, Costa Rica

You’ll need to take a boat or a small plane to get to this naturalist-guide-staffed property located along a riverbank in Costa Rica’s over-51,000-acre Tortuguero National Park, but it’s worth the extra travel effort. Between late June and September, you can spot Atlantic green sea turtles laying their eggs along the beach — and witness the hatchlings crack out of their shells starting in late August. And there are plenty of other critter encounters at this jungle retreat, which is also home to howler monkeys, long-nosed bats, toucans and parrots, just to name a few.

Details The 26-room lodge offers several packages, including a three-day Tortuguero Jungle Expedition that includes transfers to and from the San Jose airport and starts at $502 per person; tortugalodge.com.

Jerez de la Frontera, Spain

Rafalca may have mad horse skills, but there’s an entire region in the Andalusia area of southwestern Spain dedicated to the art of equestrian dance that combines classical dressage, flamenco — and riders dressed in eighteenth-century garb. At the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, you can catch a show featuring six to eight different forms of choreography, such as Doma Vaquera, the “cowboy” form of dressage used to herd cattle in the countryside.

Details Performances are held every Thursday throughout the year, as well as select Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, so it’s best to book ahead online (from $27). Don’t miss the museum of equestrian arts and the horse carriage museum, which even showcases a dog-cat carriage tethered to an iron horse; realescuela.org.

Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, Mexico

OK, it’s not technically summer travel, but if you’re willing to wait until autumn to head south of the border, you’ll witness one of nature’s greatest migrations. Each year, between October and March, millions of monarchs make their way en masse from eastern Canada to the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, a natural protected area that spans 200 square miles in western central Mexico. Once they land, the butterflies cloak the forest’s tree trunks and branches, producing a gorgeous orange-and-black panorama.

Details Natural Habitat Adventures offers six-day, naturalist-led trips to the region, but book ahead because groups are limited to 14 people. And be prepared to hoof it: To get to the monarchs, you need to hike up into the mountains, sometimes at altitudes of over 10,000 feet. From $2,995; nathab.com/central-america/monarch-butterfly-tour.

Sometimes it’s the eyes that go first. Other times, it’s an arm or a leg, until the trusty companion has been rendered lovingly limbless. Regardless of how your canine goes in for the kill, one thing is for certain: The more eviscerated and bedraggled and fluffless the dog toy, the more precious it is to your pup.

Even though we don’t recommend letting your dog’s toy get this far gone (think choking hazard!), it does make for some aesthetically curious doggie handiwork. At least that’s what photographer Arne Svenson thought when he compiled his whimsical new book, Chewed, which is packed with playful portraits and high-profile essays from the likes of Isaac Mizrahi, William Wegman, and Bizarre Foods host Andrew Zimmern.

Before you check out our slideshow below, see what Svenson had to say about his project, which was two years — and hundreds of such decimated possessions as bunnies and bears — in the making.

Q: What inspired Chewed?

A: Arne Svenson: “I was visiting a friend who has two marvelously mad Italian Greyhounds, Baby and Bo. They were tearing around the house, passing a slobbery toy back and forth, which turned out to be the gutted remains of a sock monkey. I marveled at its transformation from cheerful plaything to an eyeless, armless, one-legged monster. But it occurred to me that maybe the label of monster was totally subjective; maybe, from the point of view of Baby and Bo, this toy had been transformed from beast into beauty, that they had created their ideal ‘love thing.’ “

Q. You previously published the equally fun Sock Monkeys (200 out of 1,863). What intrigues you so much about shooting seemingly simple, inanimate objects, such as shredded dog toys?

A: “The constant theme in my photography is resuscitation — the breathing of life into the moribund, dormant and ignored citizens and objects of our culture. When I saw the chewed sock monkey, I thought it would be a great subject for a series of items that are mostly ignored by humans yet are the stuff of dreams to a pet. 

I try to see the toys through the eyes of the dog, taking loving, almost regal portraits that elevate the subject to its rightful place in the pet’s eyes. One of the pivotal inspirational points for the series came from the following quote I stumbled upon from the Velveteen Rabbit: ‘Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out, and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real, you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.’ ”

Q. How did you select the “models” for this project? It must have been tough to whittle down the finalists.

A: “I enlisted my friend and collaborator Ron Warren, and we embarked on a two-year project of collecting and photographing chewed toys. We began by coaxing these victims of tough love from pet-owning friends, some of whom confessed that they just might have an old toy or two lying around — only to produce an astonishing array of mangled remains. We were soon inundated with boxes of plush animals, rubber squeakies, and various unidentifiable bits and pieces of formally intact kids' toys. During photo shoots, a number of owners insisted upon waiting in the studio, refusing to budge until photography of “their” toys was complete, as if their pets' sanity were on the line.

Early on, we made the decision to photograph every toy we received, which eventually numbered in the hundreds. The process of editing the photographs down to the 140 pictured in the book was difficult in that every chewed victim seemed to have a tale to tell. Narratives for each toy seemed to spring from their portraits, and we matched the subjects according to these imaginary stories. Eventually, we had to be ruthless — if we couldn't effectively pair a toy with another one on the facing page, then that subject was eliminated. Of course, our criteria was highly subjective and, in retrospect, slightly mad."

Q: I know it’s hard to play favorites, but does any image resonate more than others?

A: “One of my favorite pairings is the one-eyed rabbits. There’s an odd resilience to them, as if they’ve been knocked around, but with the aid of each other, they are still able to navigate the world. Although they have one eye each, when paired, they have two. My favorite single image has to be the sock monkey, photographed from the back. He’s beaten up, but he still trudges along, tail dragging. Throughout his trials and tribulations, he still wears a big, red smile on his, well, rear …”

Q: You gathered a great roster of people to contribute essays to the book, including Augusten Burroughs. Is there one, in particular, that holds special meaning for you?

A: “In his story, ‘This Bear,’ photographer William Wegman writes about driving 200 miles to retrieve his dog's favorite toy, which had been left behind in a motel room. My cat, Monkey, an Ocicat, has many dog-like qualities, one of which is an obsessive connection with her toys. Right now, a couple of her favorites are a handmade troll doll from Sweden and a piece of bubble wrap, with the words ‘Monkey’s Invisible Cloak’ written on it. It is under this bubble wrap that she thinks she can’t be seen — and where she hides her toys.

At one point, I tried to replace the troll doll, which she had beheaded, but she would have nothing to do with the replacement. So, as any good pet owner would do, I got the old troll out of the garbage and sewed it up in a rough, Frankensteinian manner. It is now in its place of honor again, under Monkey’s Invisible Cloak. All is well with the world.”

When Katie Stone, a radio producer based in Albuquerque, N.M., decided to adopt a kitten for her daughter, Emma, she never expected that their cuddly, orange pound cat would turn out to be an uncanny lifesaver. In fact, Kitty lived in the Stone household for three years before she showed off her unique talent: The cat can alert the family when Emma is having a seizure.

It all started in January 2011, when Emma was sidelined on the couch with a fever of 104.5. One minute, she was fine, and the next, she was having a seizure, inspiring Kitty to stand on top of Emma and break out in a cacophony of uncharacteristic yowling and crying. “At first, I thought it was a fluke,” Katie says. “When it happened again the next day, I knew that we had a cat with a special gift.”

Emma was no stranger to seizures — she’d been taking medication to control them for years — but the unusually high fever had brought on what her neurologist identified as a complex partial seizure. Emma was lucky that Kitty was close by and on alert, because these types of seizures tend to be harder to detect since they don’t typically cause a full-body jerk. In most cases, complex partial seizures show up as more of a subtle twitch.

Although there are organizations in the United States that train dogs to help people with seizures, such as 4 Paws for Ability, stories of feline seizure specialists are less common. One notable case concerns a cat named Lilly residing across the pond in Bournemouth, England. When her owner, Nathan Cooper, is about to have a seizure, Lilly dashes to find and alert his mother within five minutes of the event.

Hopefully, Emma won’t have a repeat episode, but her mother is pleased to know that she has a four-legged alarm system looking over her daughter. “When we first got Kitty as a kitten, Emma would clutch her tight to her chest at night, almost like a Vulcan death grip,” Katie says. “From that day on, Kitty knew she had to sleep with my daughter, and she’d cry outside Emma’s door if she was locked out. Now, we always make sure that door is open.”

It’s pouring — again. Or it’s snowing — again. Or it’s 95 degrees in the shade and too hot for man or beast to be outdoors.

Regardless of the meteorological predicament outside, it’s the same story inside: There you and your dog sit, both feeling stir crazy. As for you, well, you just can’t watch one more movie on Netflix — or play one more round of fetch.

Instead of suffering, you should prepare for the inevitable bad weather with adventures that you can enjoy at the spur of the moment as well as those that are longer term solutions. Of course, be sure to talk to your vet to see what exercises and activities she thinks your dog should try — and avoid.

1. Hit Up Favorite Shopping Spots

It may not seem like much of an adventure to you, but taking your pup along with you to run errands at the local pet shop or dog-friendly store can feel like a great, big adventure to him if he enjoys meeting new people. 

Mikkel Becker, a certified dog and cat trainer, agrees, noting that these seemingly everyday jaunts can actually help fine-tune your pup’s socialization skills — at any age. “Socialization is essential for helping your dog feel comfortable with different aspects of life he may encounter, including other people,” she explains. “And it should be done throughout his life to continue building positive associations.”

To make the experience even more enriching, pack some of your pup’s favorite treats. When you come across friendly store employees, they can offer rewards to your dog for doing things like sitting on command. Your pup will have a positive social experience — and you’ll check something off your to-do list.

2. Take an Exercise Class — Together

If you’re the type who loves to hike, swim and run with your dog in tow, foul weather can really put a damper on your mood — and motivation.

But, across the country, there are indoor fitness classes offered for dogs and their parents, including doga (yes, that would be doggy yoga) and even freestyle musical dance — agile canines learn such nifty tricks as properly bowing before a waltz. If you are serious about dancing with your pooch, check out sites like The World Canine Freestyle Organization and the Musical Dog Sport Association.

And while you’re doing that research, Becker says you should keep a few things in mind when considering a doggy fitness class. “Look for one that uses positive reinforcement, with primarily reward-based tactics,” she says. “Even in positive classes, there can be very mild punishers, such as ignoring the dog or a mini timeout, which can heighten anxiety.”

3. Sign Up for Indoor Agility Classes

A-frames, tunnels and weave poles are just some of the track-and-field-style obstacles your dog will be tackling in an agility class — with you acting as his guide. This is the Cadillac of canine fitness options because it works all of your pup’s muscle groups, including the mind.

“Agility provides a common language, and with that language, it’s easier to communicate in a manner that feels rewarding to both the dog and person,” says Becker. “The feeling of looking for the good in your dog, and rewarding the good you do see, feels great. It also feels good to the dog, who’s free to express himself.”

Once your pup has passed a basic obedience class — often a prerequisite for agility courses — you can enroll him in a six-week class. For more information, check out The United States Dog Agility Association and the American Kennel Club, and talk to your veterinarian about classes in your area.

Not quite ready to hit the ground, ahem, running? Ask your vet to recommend a more elementary clicker-based trick training class, which will get your dog up to speed on “crawl,” “high five” and “take a bow.”

4. Get Involved in Animal-Assisted Activities

Who’s a good boy? Your dog — when you get him certified to participate in such animal-assisted activities as visiting the elderly at nursing homes or playing with kids living in long-term care facilities.

To learn more about getting involved in animal-assisted activities, read the Vetstreet article “The Making of a Therapy Dog” or visit Therapy Dogs International or Pet Partners. Bonus: It will do your heart some good, too.

5. Schedule Some Yappy Time

Let’s face it. Sometimes you just need to chill, but that doesn’t mean you have to sequester yourself on the couch with a pint of gelato.

For a low-impact adventure (for you, that is), consider teaming up with fellow dog owners to host rotating, at-home play dates. Or call a doggy daycare in your area to see if they host regular yappy hours, when dogs can let loose in a large play area while their parents sit back with a latte and watch.
