In this undated photo provided by Dr. Pamela Fisher shows, Pamela Fisher and her best friend, Lili, pose for a selfie in a field of flowers in Canton, Ohio. Fisher started a campaign nearly four years ago called Rescue Animal MP3 Project. Musicians donated 30 hours of music that stops dogs from barking and de-stresses and relaxes dog and cats. She has now provided over 1,100 MP3 players to shelters across the country. She was installing a player in a shelter in Akron, Ohio, when a glance from Lili rather than a sound won her over.
