When 23-year-old photographer Maria Sharp saw that the days with her beloved pup were numbered, she decided to create a portrait session so that she could always remember her dog Chubby.
In order to capture her special moment with Chubby, Sharp enlisted the help of a fellow photographer and dog lover, Suzanne Price.
