Big Dog in a Big City (2018)
What life in New York City Looks like with a Great Dane? In this series, the dog, Hendrix, takes on an almost human quality, as if she were simply a third member of Justice and Smith’s domestic partnership, gathering to blow out candles on a birthday cake or primping for a night out. We see Hendrix bathing and staring in a mirror as her owners applies lipstick and plucks her eyebrows. It is difficult to walk down the street in Manhattan with a dog and not be stopped, but it is nearly impossible when you are walking a hulking, dappled ham like Hendrix. “She’s a celebrity”.
