Dogs
Being around dogs just brings a smile to our face. We pet them, care for them, feed them, house them, share them, and generally, just love them.
Some dogs support our veterans, assist the physically challenged, work on the ranch, and some are just our best friends!
It doesn’t matter where you are, a certain breed of dog is usually the same no matter what country you visit. Simply put, dogs are universally awesome!
Travel
Traveling around the world gives you perspective, and opens your eyes to other foods, customs, experiences, and helps create a more “well rounded” you. (especially the food part!)
Traveling challenges you to learn and accept others for who they are and gives you perspective to see your world from a different point of view.
Traveling means adventure and education as you experience different cultures, fun activities, nature, and animal life.
Photography
One the greatest things about photography is being able to create emotion to inspire others to expand their horizons and venture to new horizons.
Looking at our photography may give you ideas for your next vacation to a country where you have never been.
So we hope to provide you with a spark to consider planning a trip to a far away place, pet some dogs, and make some memories, and maybe bring back a dog to a new home!
