Holding on to Hope- a Girl and a Puppy surviving in the most hopeless of places. This photo depicts the gritty and emotional side of the "exciting" urban landscape. Beneath the downtown neon lights, a young woman clutches her pup (a pitbull, with pearls around its neck) as she contemplates a sign "2% down Bail Bonds". The girl, only 18 and feeling alone in the world, has traversed the city- in heels - while struggling to bail her "bad boy" relation out of jail. This pitbull puppy is her only friend. To this day, the dog is still by her side.
