A photographer from New Zealand has photographed New York City dogs and cats for a new book intended to help homeless NYC pets.

Felix the cat and Miracle the dog became best friends at the Humane Society of New York. The two were adopted together about a month ago into the same home, but returned to the shelter to pose for a photo shoot to help tell their success story.
