The silence of dogs in cars

Not a campaign but great inspiration for animal rights or loneliness projects.
These two photo’s are part of a project from Martin Usborne: The silence of dogs in cars

I was once left in a car at a young age.
I don’t know when or where or for how long, possibly at the age of four, perhaps outside Tesco’s, probably for fifteen minutes only. The details don’t matter.  The point is that I wondered if anyone would come back. It seems trivial now but in a child’s mind it is possible to be alone forever.
Around the same age I began to feel a deep affinity with animals – in particular their plight at the hands of humans. I remember watching TV and seeing footage of a dog being put in a plastic bag and being kicked. What appalled me most was that the dog could not speak back. It’s muteness terrified me.

I am very happy to see a movment for the protection of animals. Why should they have to be kept in cars, they are ment to be free. Just so the owner can feel that they have a companion is not a reason to keep dogs in vehicles. Great Job.
