Recently, my dog went to the veterinarian and came home with a cone on her head. Though the cone was relatively small, her entire personality changed: She sat sullenly in the corner, she refused to eat, and the only look that crossed her face for the entire three days was “I am in the lowest depths of hell, please feel free to kill me.” In other words, it’s no surprise that these contraptions, while officially known as an “Elizabethan collar,” is more commonly called “the cone of shame.” A necessary evil to keep pups from licking their wounds, they also cause them to hate their lives for the entirety of the period that they have to wear them. Photographer [Ty Foster][1] decided to capture these animals at their darkest moments: Fully coned, and totally depressed. In Foster’s opinion, dogs are sadly at their cutest when they are also at their most encumbered. [1]: http://www.tyfoster.com/
