The December issue of Dog Fancy Magazine, the world’s most widely read dog magazine, is highlighting our photo diplomacy project! As Dog Fancy is the comprehensive resources for all things dog, it makes sense to see an article (page 12) under FUN DOG about how Dog Meets World is using Foto, our small stuffed dog to meet and greet, set the stage, and help fetch photos for kids and families in need around the world. Foto is the mascot, the ice-breaker, posing buddy, symbol of peace and love (check out the paw prints) and unifier of all the photos. Read our story and get involved!

Phodographer Carolyn Lane in Washington, DC July 2010

Today Foto was recognized as the first ever and “highly prestigious” PET OF THE MONTH in her Washington DC Newseum Residences. Little toy Foto of Dog Meets World was modeled after the real dog. Foto serves many important roles for the project….as a mascot, as the official ambassador to bridge language barriers and as the fun prop to help children unaccustomed to posing take a more natural looking photograph. Foto unifies all kids/families and the photos from around the globe.

The symbols of PEACE and LOVE on the front paws of the stuffed animal reflect the purpose of the photo sharing project.

Dog Meets World is about human dignity and the power of one. The intention is that the photograph fulfills a basic human need for acknowledgment, recognition and affirmation.
