Canada gets the kudos this year with Charlie from Ottawa Canada taking the “Pet of the Year” honor for 2009.

Top Tips for Pet Photography

There were two of us conducting this pet photo promo… one for voice and one for pet pix. It was a bright and brilliant day and the dogs were excited and not thrilled at the idea of sitting for photos. While we managed to get a few lovely photos, we also got offers from some of the owners to provide replacement pix for their pet stars!
