To create this photo, I used the picture of our foster dog as the background. Using the lasso tool, I selected my mom’s face and used the free transform function to make the selected space smaller. I then pasted the image of Mom’s face into the dog’s eye.

I decided to use Bridget, our foster dog, as the subject of this assignment. She is one of many dogs that has been rescued through The Pixel Fund. The Pixel Fund is a non-profit animal rescue that my mother created. Bridget has had many names. She has been called Mary, Dora, and currently Bridget. As it is hard to keep track, she is often referred to as Sister Mary Dora Bridget. Yet, she responds to each name individually.

The fact of the matter is, Bridget completely adores my mother, which is why I chose my mother as the image that means the most to Bridget. Anywhere Mom goes, Bridget follows, clinging like velcro. If Mom leaves and Bridget has to stay behind, she stays by the door and waits, watching intently for mom to come back.
