Julie Marie Werner, a German photographer, was in Spain when she same across a stray dog that was looking for scraps of food in her garbage, Werner instantly fell in love with him and she couldn’t leave him alone anymore. People who passed by the cute canine only considered him as a homeless mutt, but Werner saw a courageous little lion and she wants to show the world her vision with this collection of heartwarming pictures.
Werner gave the adorable lion dog who is the main model of her project the name of Tschikko Leopold von Werner, her photography work Grossstadtlowe, which means “Large Town Lion” put the spotlight on Tschikko and how he looks exactly like a king of an “urban” jungle! Werner believes that Tschikko fought to fend himself after being abandoned and thrown from a car in Spain. Tschikko has passed through a lot, not emotionally but also geographically as Werner decided to adopt him and brought him along with her from Spain to Germany to start a new life together so that he can finally live the way he deseves… We hope that all strays dogs will finally get the happy ending just like Tschikko.
