Photographer Takes His Rescued Dog Maddie On Epic Adventures

ADVERTISEMENT

Maddie, the rescue dog of ‘Maddie on Things’ fame, is on a road trip across America with owner Theron Humphrey and looking for friends. Maddie became famous for her ability to balance on things shortly after she was rescued, but this new series, “four by three,” is all about their life on the road in America’s back-country. Believe it or not, but the duo will be traveling by motorcycle most of the time – Maddie will be sitting in a sidecar right alongside Theron the whole time!

Humphrey describes his project’s goals on his blog: “Out on the road, I’m looking to photograph 25 unique stories focused on ladies who love motorcycles,” he writes. “This cool photo project is about having fun… We’re going to avoid those interstates and say ‘Hi’ to the small dots on the map.”

Would you be interested in meeting up with Humphrey as he travels to the US? If so, scroll down below and share the same beautiful views that Theron and his adorable dog are looking at every day from the back of their house on wheels.

OMG - we are kindred spirits. My husband Jimmy (a wildlife vet), Princess and I (animal rescue/welfare/photographer) travel the world together sharing adventures.Princess has lived with us in seven countries (soon to be eight), four states and visited many more. And, from what I can gather from the sleeping bag image, Maddie and Princess may have a lot to talk about as Princess often gives me a similar looking "not this again" expression after being the subject of our travel photos hundreds and hundreds of times. :) You've got an awesome story, awesome pics, and mostly an awesome pup! P.S. Maddie and Princess both have those telltale Cattle Dog speckles...maybe they were born adventurers, like most Aussies! :) Thanks for sharing!

OMG - we are kindred spirits. We (my husband - a wildlife vet) and Princess and I travel the world together sharing all kinds of adventures! In addition, I too am a photographer (much to Princess's chagrin I believe) and she is my main "focus" wherever we go. She's lived in seven countries, soon to increase to eight, and four U.S. states as well. Awesome! <3
