Meet The Team
Hey! Hi! Hola! We’re glad to meet you here. It’s been an interesting journey for us. One that’s been shaped by the life-altering power of that one dog. The one that flipped our world on its heels. The one we’ve got tattooed on our skin. That one dog we can’t speak of without our throats […]
The Moon – a Halloween theme photoshoot
Our favorite season is back! And with it, the 6th year in a row for our Halloween Passion Project.

This particular one had been hanging […]
In Celebration of National Mutt Day

30 Lessons Learned from the Dogs I’ve Loved
That saying by Orhan Pamuk, you know the one: “Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.” I find it to be very true in my daily work and life with dogs (and cats, they speak too). But I find that a keen sense of observation is the best way to hear what […]
