Paparazzi For Good

A sausage maker is getting paparazzi to re focus their cameras onto the real stars of the world, those who do good for others.

Amateur photographers can also have a shot at getting paid the big bucks for these kind of snapshots, earning $500 for capturing the best weekly picture of someone committing an act of kindness.

Jimmy Dean launched this refocus, now named "Paparazzi For Good" to use professional celebrity photographers at their going rate to capture these moments of everyday people helping out others.

Paparazzi For Good, part of Jimmy Dean’s “Shine it Forward” campaign, which was extended to the general public last Friday and the company says it will choose the best photo of the week and pay $500 for the submission.

Brandon Turnbow, a motorcyclist was riding down to meet up with his father when he witnessed a man beating up a white tan terrier mix on the side of the road, before throwing it in the air and driving off. Thankfully Brandon turned around and got to the dog when it was only a few feet away from walking into the traffic.

Brandon approached the scared and alone dog slowly before wrapping him up in his leather jacket, helping him feel secure. he started his motorcycle and let it run for a while so the dog could become accustomed to the noise and vibration. Once the traffic died down and the dog had clamed Brandon continued to drive to meet his father who happened to also be on a motorcycle.

Both of the men then rode the miles back to Turnbow's house but at a four way stop, he turned to check up on the dog and said he was sitting in the seat "like he has rode all his life" The dog now stays with Brandon and is named Mr. Davidson.
