Photographer Rowan Eva and his wife found Pepper in an abandoned car park near Ceres in 2009. “She was so tiny I could hold her in my one hand,” he says now. “We lived in a small house in Woodstock and we started planning our days and weekends around her – hikes, runs, walks, you name it. She is the most committed, most human, dog I have ever had. I know when she is happy, sad – when she has to take a bath – and depressed, like when we had our kids. We once got lost on a hike, in the rain, and we were all at each others’ throats – but she was wagging her tail, amped to be outside, and with us, on the mountain.”
