UGH! Emotional Final Moments Captured Between Pets and Their Owners

An assistant professor at the University of Boulder has been working on a new series he call “Last Moments.” Where he captures the last precious moments between a pet owner and their beloved pets. Ross Taylor has been a photojournalist for over 20 years, he is also an assistant professor at the University of Boulder.

Taylor spoke with BuzzFeed News about his series:
