The first time I saw this photo last fall, it took my breath away. I just felt hushed and could sense the stillness of the scene. I originally saw it while reading my In Defense of Animal’s newsletter. Here is IDA’s story about Dorothy’s passing in September 2008.

Currently, the photo of Dorothy being grieved by her companions is circulating around the world, in the Telegraph article and National Geographic’s November issue. I wonder what kind of international dialogue will spring up around it.

If you take a look, I am curious to hear your thoughts.
