stray

Dogs are said to be man's best friend. But they are often neglected and left to die by their owners in places around the world.

When photographer Stuart Holroyd moved to Cyprus in March 2014, he heard about a woman named Kayte Wilson-Smith who runs a small rescue center for stray, abused, and/or abandoned dogs. It's called Bay Tree Rescue, is funded entirely by Wilson-Smith's pension and donations, and houses roughly 60 dogs at any given time.

Holroyd wanted to get involved in the project, so he decided to use his photography background to help. His "Bay Tree Project" is a series of fantasy portraits of the dogs that are meant to raise funds, awareness, and adoptions.
