It can be quite the sad sight: the family pet, recovering from surgery, having to wear that awkward cone on their neck to keep them from licking at their stitches.

They look miserable. They look silly.

But Winnie Au is hoping to flip the script with her new photo book, “Cone of Shame.”

In these portraits, dogs are wearing fashionable collars that they can be proud of.

“I wanted to take that post-surgery humiliation — that saddest moment for every pet — and twist it into something beautiful and majestic,” Au says in her book. “I wanted to take the shame out of the cone.”

Au teamed up with designer Marie-Yan Morvan to come up with the cones in the book.

Their dog models are sporting one-of-a-kind collars made from all sorts of materials — and it’s not just different fabrics or fibers.

These cones also repurpose everyday household items such as drinking straws, makeup sponges, and those foam noodles that float in swimming pools.

The “Cone of Shame” project was inspired by Au’s late corgi, Tartine, whom the book is dedicated to.

Au and her husband had Tartine for about a year and a half before the dog was diagnosed with throat cancer.

“We went through a long process of going to the hospital, doing chemotherapy, trying to save her, doing all this stuff that was very emotional and difficult,” Au recalled.

It was also expensive. Au and her husband had insurance to help cover the costs, but it made her wonder what it would be like for other pet owners who didn’t have thousands of dollars to take care of their pets.

So, she is dedicating a portion of the proceeds from her book and print sales to Animal Haven’s Recovery Road Fund, which provides specialized medical care and treatment for animals in urgent need.

“I wanted to give back and turn the pain I experienced from having lost my dog into something better,” she said.

“Cone of Shame,” published by Union Square & Co., is now available.

A launch party will be held September 15 at the Sommwhere studio in New York City, and there will be a silent auction to help benefit Animal Haven’s Recover Road Fund.

Locked out

[fellowship-of-the-doodles]

A little AU based on a dream I had recently in which the Fellowship teamed up with the Winnie the Pooh characters to escape a natural disaster, and when it was over they all moved into a house together with a massive stockpile of food :) Here's just a few of their interactions; I'll probably do more sketches of the AU if people are interested and if I feel inspired to (which I definitely have more ideas for it!) Anyway I just remember that they were all best buds in the dream and it was super cute so I wanted to do something with it <3

SKETCHES SKETCHES SKETCHES

I haven't drawn a robo-version of my OC for a long time (although I rarely draw her in principle)

In the process of random sketches, my old idea with Prima's wings began to take on at least some shape. I will definitely return to him and the other Primes

Also some more kids

And sketches from the beach, drawn in the pose of a twisted shrimp

Double agent Daniel Page in AM!AU real and true...! as always, collective server hcs under the cut!!!!

saddest sleepiest puppy boy eyes, down turned lashes, smudged brown eyeliner he's had on for three days, and purple stained eye bags from several nights of staying up in front of a cauldron!!!

freed from the moles guys, freckles this time!!! very important must be noted eyelid and lip freckles

double helix piercings and gauges too :] thought it looked cool when he was younger, did it impulsively, and it just . stayed

usually forgoes his jacket because it just got in the way but he does carry it with him whenever he goes out, rolled up sleeves for the same reason too

SEVERAL BELTBAGS!!! well one containing potions and quills that hangs from his hip and is assisted by a mini thigh belt for practicality reasons only, one pouch to carry ingredients with, and a book/journal hanging there too

bracelets and pinky ring from Aslan!! his charm is a rose dangling from a sun-moon charm :] the ring hanging from a necklace is a silly trinket from their childhood

daniel's still a potioneer in am!au, worry not!! he's one of the best if not the bestest,

he's also just taken on the role of spying on am while also "trying" to convince the others to side with the organization, double agent stuff dwbi
