"Life Sentence" by Artist Jessica Dreyer

I visited the Humane Society several times and each time it got more difficult knowing that not all these animals would find a home. The eyes on this one year old female became a haunting reminder to me of her possible plight. If she could only talk. She was a stray picked up in the county. Was she turned lose to be on her own? Was someone looking for her? Did she jump a fence? I called her sweetie and would give her treats each time I stopped by to take pictures. I always made a point to visit her and talk to her as if someday she might answer me. One day when I came by she was gone, her cage occupied by yet another stray. I asked him what happened to sweetie, he just cocked his head and let out a whimper. Artist Jessica Dreyer of St Charles, Missouri
