Co-Founders Carolyn and Austin Lane with Advisory Board member/phodographer Brittany Lane at the tremendous Launch Party for Dog Meets World. Over 250 active supporters, phodographers and friends celebrated this new nonprofit project, aiming to put a photo in the hands of every child in need in the world. The food was outstanding at the North Beach Bistro in Atlantic Beach, FL. Foto dogs galore begged to be “adopted” for a donation of $30 or more and found plenty of new homes. Photo shoots and poster-sized enlargements of some favorite DMW pictures were part of the experience. Greeting guests was real dog and canine inspiration for Foto, the mascot of the project!!

Her Incan beauty was first captured for all time when Dog Meet World was first practiced. Think of all the countless pictures you have of yourself, your friends and your family and imagine not preserving this girl’s youth and humanity. Dog Meets World encourages everyone to offer such a simple act of kindness for others. Join the movement to put a photo in the hands of all children in need.
