Raising awareness for service dogs and working K9s.

I hope you and your dog are having the best day today….
Hello, my name is Lynn Cobb and I am a photographer in Charleston, SC. I love my job and I love dogs even more :)) This whole photography project started with a thought in my head and took off like a dog chasing a tennis ball. It all started with Carly & Brinkley and took me all around the USA for 7 years before completing my last photoshoot right here in Charleston SC with Bo & K-9 Taz. These dogs have incredible skills, but it takes years of dedication and training. I learned first-hand about the long hours it takes to train. Most importantly, it’s the teamwork and connection between the handlers (aka human Dads & Moms) and the dogs that must be strong and loyal.
I hope all my readers will fall in love with these dogs and see how important these dogs are to our society. I want to bring awareness to them and lift them up and give more respect to them in this world, because they deserve that. Dogs can’t speak, so we must speak for them. If you meet a working dog or service dog who touches your heart, speak to their handler in person to learn more about how you can support them.
It all started with a girl in a pink dress with a guide dog by her side…
Every photographer needs a personal photo project and when you love dogs, this is what it looks like. It is with great honor that I present this photo book, Good Dogs of Service: True Stories of Honor, Courage, and Devotion.
Inside, you’ll find a collection of portraits and stories of Working K9s, Service Dogs, and their handlers. It’s important for the world to know that these great dogs perform so many tasks such as guiding, search and rescue, diabetic alerting, and police, fire, and military service.
Over the years, I have learned about their incredible service to humanity, and this is my tribute to them. The dogs here represent just a few of the thousands of dogs worldwide that are Good Dogs of Service.
