  • Photographer Ty Foster says he was inspired for his series "Timeout" after his father sent him a text message showing two dogs sitting in the backyard after trips to the vet.

  • The dogs were both wearing “the cone of shame,” Foster says, “and both looked absolutely miserable.”

  • The cones, called Elizabethan collars, are used in the healing process, but for dogs they can feel like a timeout.

  • "We've all experienced the emotional hardships that our animals have to endure while wearing the cone and I really wanted to showcase those trials and tribulations in this series," Foster writes.
