Casco Viejo's vibrant streets are home not only to its beloved cats but also to a number of street dogs, each with its unique personality. These dogs display remarkable behavior and seem to have carved out a daily routine of their own. Some are known to make a regular appearance outside the local Rey store, arriving promptly at opening time, where they can be seen lounging near the entrance, savoring the refreshing coolness of the AC that escapes the front door.
One particular pup featured in this photo has a memorable presence, and during my daily walks along Cinta Costera 3, I've had the pleasure of encountering what I believe to be both the mother and father of this charming dog. Throughout Casco Viejo, several similar-looking pups share the streets with these proud parents.
During a community picnic on the beach, I had a serendipitous encounter with one of these pups, I named Tiki. With the collective efforts of our community, we rescued him, ensured he received proper care, and found him a loving forever home. This pup, no doubt a sibling of Tiki, we will call him, Tiki 2, at the time of this capture, still roams around Casco Viejo. Our community attempted to rescue him but is seemed that he was claimed as someone's pet, but we did ensure he was nutered. He is clearly very curious and enjoys treats if offered. My friend Laura captured this incredible shot. It encapsulates a heartwarming glimpse into the life of Casco Viejo's street dogs, their unique stories, and the community's collective spirit of compassion.
Proceeds from this image will be donated to the Casco nuetering day.

Each of JR's images are custom, digitally printed using a high-quality Epson 5 color solvent ink on 300 Poly Cotton Canvas, that is waterproof. Each image is cropped specifically to the specifications of that shot, so sizes differ for each image. Sizes for this image are:
- Small: 12"X12"
- Medium: 18"x18"
Unframed: Each image is printed with extended, stretched edge so it can be easily Gallery Wrapped using a wooden frame. Should you desire to frame your canvas in a traditional frame, be aware that the edges have a "pixel stretch" design, creating a blurry look so the inner photo is fully visibile on the front of the canvas.
Framed: Framed canvases sport a 1 1/4" high quality, treated wood equipped with mounting hardware with an open back. Each canvas has been hand-stretched, that is perfectly taunt with staples evenly and precicely distributed to ensure the longevity of the canvas. Canvases are shrinkwrapped with protective cardboard edges.
