Her name is Amanda Tromp, and that is her 3-year old Siberian Husky Kyro. The relationship these two have is indescribable. Amanda adopted Kyro when he was just a couple of days old, after his mother abandoned him, while Kyro has been with Amanda during her darkest times. I will show you the story of the two in the following pictures. As for now I want to introduce you the amazing duo:
A couple of years ago Amanda suffered from emotional abuse that quickly turned into physical violence. She turned to dogs during this difficult time, and begun volunteering into local shelters. And that is when it all started with Kyro.
She adopted Kyro when he was just a couple of days old, and since then the two of them have been inseparable. When Amanda was still in a relationship, Kyro helped overcome the stress a lot.
This is when Amanda adopted Kyro:
This is how Kyro looks now:
“Kyro has been a huge healing and support for me,” she said. “During the abuse he would come to me and cuddle with me while I cried. Our walks and hikes were my only breath of fresh air when everything was so bad with my ex.”
Eventually Amanda left her abusive boyfriend, and started living an adventurous life with her beloved dog. The two of them started traveling all over Washington State, and Amanda started taking pictures of her dog. This passion turned into a new love for Amanda and Kyro.
She is now documenting their adventures together in a photo project called “Goldilocks and the Wolf.” The project has its own Facebook and Instagram pages. The project took this name from a nickname Tromp’s mom gave her because of her curly blonde hair.
The breathtaking shots are taken throughout Washington state. We can see amazing landscapes in these pictures, and of course Kyro is the main character of the shots.
Amanda said that the shoots require a lot of effort. Sometimes she has to drive several hours to get into the next amazing landscape. Furthermore some of the pictures she takes require 3AM light she said.
This is why Amanda is doing what she is doing:
I really hope to bring light to domestic abuse. It’s a topic that is not often discussed as it is difficult for people to hear about and hard for survivors to talk about.
I really hope to inspire those that have been, or are currently in the situation I was- to see that there’s a positive after all the negative.
That you can find happiness and rebuild yourself. I hope that by bringing this topic out that it’ll make it easier for survivors and those currently in relationships like this — to speak out and share their stories.
