Fred Strike a Pose!
Mary Longsine has the picture she wants in her head before she shares it with Fred. It's just easier that way. The retired physical education teacher scoops him up, hugs him to her shoulder, kisses him lightly and then puts him behind the wheel of a blue car.
The camera clicks. Once. Twice. As many as eight times.
Did we mention that Fred was a rat?
Longsine, 63, volunteers 16 hours a week at the Wisconsin Humane Society.
The bulk of her job is taking photographs of the small animals awaiting adoption for the Web site (www.wihumane.org).
She gives personality to guinea pigs; magnetism to mice; beauty to bunnies; charisma to cockatiels; and, in Fred's case, racing stripes to rats.
"If you can get a picture that's good enough that someone goes "aw,' they'll adopt it," she said.
