2006 DISCOVER MAGAZINE: "DOGS OF RAROTONGA"
“Dogs of Rarotonga”, is the highlight of Discover Magazine’s June 04 edition. While working at the Esther Honey Clinic in the Cook Islands, a veterinarian collected DNA samples from Esther Honey patients for the Canine Genome Project, a multinational collaboration similar to the Human Genome Project. The DNA sampling (twirling a cytology brush between the dog’s cheek and gum) and digital portraits of each subject collected for the genome project elicited island wide attention. Photos by award winning Australian photographer, Trent Parke, capture the Doctor Suess-like appearance and spirit of the island’s short- legged canines. The Esther Honey Clinic, volunteers and EHF ‘Dog Crossing’ street signs (placed along Rarotonga’s main road by volunteers) are also included in Parke’s spectacular Raro layout. The Sydney-based photographer who traveled to the Cook Islands to shoot “Dogs of Rarotonga” expressed praise for the Esther Honey services and volunteers. “He was impressed with the veterinary medicine,” Discover editors noted. “The local animal clinic there was like a mini MAS*H unit,” he said. “The conditions were so sparse -- the doctor performed operations under a single light bulb, in very hot and humid conditions.” The “Dogs of Rarotonga” should not be missed by anyone with even a passing interest in dogs.
