After learning that 5,500 shelter dogs are put down every day in the United States, artist Mark Barone decided to paint 5,500 portraits of actual shelter dogs, recording their names and the dates they were killed.

Two years into the project, Barone has completed over 3,500 portraits for his ‘memorial museum’, passing on all donations to save and re-home other strays.
