Top 40 Photos

-This photo was very moving for me. The fact that the dog knew who it was and that it was saddened by its owner no longer being with them was interesting to realize we are similar. The empty graves you can see behind the dog drew my eyes to this picture. I believe this picture made the Top 40 because its very inspirational. Seeing the dog and knowing that they can have the same feelings as we do really makes one think not only about the feelings of these dogs but of the fact that of how selfish we all really are.

-I chose this photo because it drew me in emotionally. Being able to see the little boy with the officer and seeing the boys face is what drew me in. Seeing the little boy having to understand that he lost his father for good, and knowing we have things some people don't have and that we take advantage of them, even someone like a father in our lives.  I believe it made the Top 40 because yet again, it makes people think about the luxuries we have that a lot of people don't and cant ever get back.

-I chose this picture because seeing the boys face light up from hearing for the first time made me grin. I have a personal connection to the picture my aunt being deaf, hoping someday this will be her reaction if she will be able to hear. The close up of the boys face displaying his reaction drew me in. I believe this picture made the Top 40 because it can spread hope for everyone not just the deaf. It makes people believe anything is possible.
