As the largest state, Western Australia covers nearly one third of the country. It is mostly made up of arid Outback, so the majority of the population is concentrated in the fertile southwest corner. It’s here that you’ll find the small country town of Boyup Brook, first settled in 1854. It’s a community of dog lovers, from the highly valued, hardworking sheep and cattle dogs to pampered pets…

Here’s one that put a smile on this author’s face - from my very own hometown of Melbourne!

Paul raised $1000 for Arctic Rescue Victoria, a small group of volunteers dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of Arctic breeds. You’ll even spot a few of those furry giants in his photoshoots.

“The cat will mew, and the dog will have his day.” Did you know that Shakespeare mentions dogs several hundred times in his plays? Dogs have long been used as metaphors in writing for determination and loyalty; a fitting metaphor, as I’m sure any dog lover would agree.

Tails of Warwickshire, written and photographed by Steph Alexander, celebrates local dogs in the heart of Shakespeare’s England. Steph published her fundraising book in 2022 AND participated in the global Tails of the World project. Pet photographers around the world united to raise over $20,000 for animals in need.

From the fresh open countrywide of Hartshill Hayes to the medieval Coombe Abbey and Shakespeare’s birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon, there was certainly no shortage of stunning locations for Steph and her four-legged models to explore. They raised £450 for The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.
