A picture is worth a thousand words.
And now more than a thousand smiles.
Since the genesis of Dog Meets World in October 2008, this global photo diplomacy project has been embraced by more than 150 phoDOGraphers (volunteer photographers), who have distributed over 5,000 to children (adults) many of whom have never seen a picture of their beautiful faces before. In 37 countries, this humble program continues to spread diplomacy worldwide and be a bridge of peace from Niger to Panama, Ghana to India, and now from Jamaica to Tibet. Starting with a single “click” – truly the power of one photograph transcends hatred and racial unrest as well as poverty and neglect, and it can bring to some real affirmation and a smile.
This is the global goal of Dog Meets World…the journey of our little ambassador dog setting the stage for a child’s first photo – it touches the hearts of children around the world and enhances self-esteem and character while bringing smiles of happiness and a permanent memory!
