13 Rescue Dogs Who Look Like Famous Writers
Posted by Unknown on Thursday, January 15, 2015
The photo series has been created to raise awareness for adopting rescue dogs and helping shelters care for the animals.
To celebrate, he decided he wanted to give his new pet, Rothko, and millions of other rescue dogs a voice by creating a new photo series entitled Poetic Dogs.
Bannino wrote on the project's IndieGoGo page: "#POETICDOGS is a photo-project where dogs are besides famous writers: Speaking through their expressions, sounds and movements, they're telling you everything saying nothing, just like an author would do with words in a fine poem."
Charles Bukowski
The campaign is hoping to raise $6,000 (£3,943) so more dogs can be helped and a book of the images featuring their stories can be created.

Charles Dickens
Bannino admitted it was tricky getting some of the dogs to pose in the same manner as their lookalike authors.

Charles Pierre Baudelaire
"The difficulty, in addition to attracting their attention in the room, was to reproduce the same expression of the chosen writer," he said. "That's why I invested all this time in this project, trying to communicate with them and always make them having fun."

There’s also a book case where you can put your own tear-stained copies of Nights in Rodanthe.
