I photographed funnybones for dogs, a doggy daycare in Lilburn, for the Lilburn Patch newspaper on Thursday, January 5, 2012. The doggy daycare is owned by Kenya Newman, a former sports marketer from California, who opened her own business in 2004. Newman’s shop cares for about 35 dogs each day. These are some of my favorite images.
