Jack Knox is a debonair fellow. Tall, good looking, smart, charming, he just happens to own the equally delicious Cafe Pacific in Highland Park Village. Jack is a well-known animal lover. Why just this past summer he was honored at Paws in the City’s “Top Hat & Tails.”
Realizing that first impressions mean everything, Jack felt that the critters at Dallas Animal Services could use a little help in getting adopted. As with other animal organizations, photos of the adoptable critters are put up for consideration. But let’s face it. As the late Marlene Dietrich knew so well, lighting and a good camera can make a world of difference. According to the DAS folks,
“With a tremendous donation from Jack Knox, Mary Spencer was able to order and coordinate photography equipment for DAS to have our own photo studio. Professional photographer Teresa Berg taught employees, and a few others from the community, how to take photos of the animals, and set up the equipment. “
