Vic rediscovered his interest in photography upon retirement and combined it with his love for wo/man's best friends. He and his wife, Joan, have always been fond of large breeds and following their family of Newfies, ventured into the world of Leonbergers and never looked back. They presently have two Leonberger rescues, Lincoln and Cassie, who are included in Vic's two volumes of DAWGS. Lincoln, in June 2009, saved Vic from drowning, while he was attempting to rescue Cassie from a dangerous river predicament. As a tribute to Lincoln, all net proceeds from the sale of this book and benefits of the charitable contribution program, "Blurb For Good", will go directly to a Leonberger rescue charity.
