Riggs and Gunny’s Story

These moments were captured when hope was still uncertain.

Two best friends abandoned on the streets, clinging to each other as their world suddenly fell apart.
With six days left, Riggs and Gunny waited quietly in their kennel, hoping someone would come back for them.
With only three days remaining, a massive rescue transport became Riggs and Gunny’s last chance at survival.
