In 2019 photographers Kendrick Brinson and David Walter Banks visited 14 countries on assignment. When the couple described the adventures they had experienced when photographing, people invariably asked, "But who takes care of your four cats and dogs?" They joked that the pet siter made a lot of money.
But 2020 couldn't have been (different). Due to COVID-19, Brinson and Banks never left the United States. Often, they didn't even leave their Los Angeles neighborhood. spending long hours in airport security lines and waiting-for the perfect lighting, the pair stayed along with dogs Tux and Tia and cats Rex and Kudzu. "Our pets became emotional therapy animals, and our only friends we could safely hug in a world (strike) by a deadly pandemic," Banks said.
As COVID-19 lockdowns swept across the world in March of 2020, the change made an especially great impact on photographers, who are accustomed to (spend) long periods abroad. And so many cameras (turn) on a domestic subject: the pet.

In fact, the pandemic has sped up a trend, according to McCobb's and other scientists' observation, the pet is becoming a member of the family. "In the past 20 to 30 years, the role of the pet in the family (take) on a whole new role," says MeCobb." It really hasn't been that long these furry child substitutes gained this kind of importance in American society."
