I rescued a puppy from backyard breeders and named her Pegasus. Most of her brothers and sisters siblings died at birth or were deformed. She is a “double-merle” and was born with serious problem such as lack of pigment. Most double-merles are born blind and/or deaf and I was told that if she survived, she might go blind or deaf or both.
I didn`t want to focus on the negative, that is why I found a way to document her good days of good health and celebrate her life every day. I start taking a picture of her growing up every day not knowing how long it would last. The result is a pretty amazing time-lapse that spanned half a year as she grew from a 4 week old puppy to a 7 month old teenager. She’ll always have health issues but she’s happy and has the most loving nature.
I am a filmmaker in South Africa. I work a lot with animals, creating pieces that people can engage with emotionally. He has directed his work skills to create a video that made you cry, but with joy!
“I still don’t know how long she is going to live…
…but right now is pretty great“
Every shot of this short video celebrates the life of those in which others did not believe and who are rejected!
