The How…
With The Book Project - The 2nd in a Series!
Tails of the Hill Country - A Dogs' Adventure Guide is a photographic project by Ares & Emzy Pet Photography and two incredible Hill Country Professional Pet Photographers. The project photographed dogs in iconic, dog-friendly areas of the Texas Hill Country to guide visitors traveling with their dogs. The book features our sponsors and locations in the categories that spell P E T S for P - places to play, E - places to eat, T - places to tour, and S- places to stay, shop, or places of safety; obtain care while traveling with your dog.
This book is dedicated to one extraordinary K9 Veteran, Bass. In 2023, Bass was awarded England’s 75th PDSA Dickin Award for displaying conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty while serving with his handler, SSgt Alex Schnell. The PDSA Medal is considered the animal’s “Victoria Cross.”
The first book in the series, The Tails of the Alamo City - A Dogs’ Adventure Guide, was published in October 2021. It featured 35 dogs, only 250 books were printed, and 100% of all proceeds after book costs were donated to two K9 charities. With so few books published, the project raised an astonishing $9,000! $8000. was presented to the United States War Dogs and $1000. was donated to a local rescue.
In January 2024, two amazing professional pet photographers joined the team (meet the team here ). This time, we photographed over 50 dogs. We initially printed 500 books and 100% of all donations are going exclusively to the United States War Dogs. As of April 2024, I have earned $18,000 in sponsorships. This project is sure to succeed! As of June, all photo sessions are closed. As of September 1, the book is at the publisher’s. The Book Release is scheduled for NOVEMBER 9 at JAVELINA HARLEY DAVIDSON in Boerne. Join us at 11:00
