30 Photos of Older Dogs That Will Melt Your Heart (30 Photos)

American Nancy Levine photographs dogs - but not cheerful little puppies, but adult dogs that have practically already lived their lives. A dog's life, alas, is short, and dog owners know how painful it is to part with their four-legged friends. 10 years ago, Nancy buried her two dogs, but managed to take portraits of them as keepsakes. This is where her work as a dog photographer began.
