#1 Vote For Cover 9 - Vinnie

Last year, Chris Miller released three series of original photos on Bored Panda - portraits of dogs with a corresponding motivational dog quote that made you smile and hopefully laugh too. Chris turned 60 and decided that he wanted to spend the 12 months through to November 2024 not celebrating his life, but instead celebrating the lives of dogs, and raise funds through his project for the UK national charity Support Dogs. This charity provides life-changing support for those affected by epilepsy, autism and disability through their dogs.

#2 Vote For Cover 15 - Barkley

Barkley is a three-year-old male apricot Cockapoo. This beautiful photo was taken in the forest at Virginia Water, Windsor Great Park, on the Berkshire-Surrey borders.

#3 Vote For Cover 2 - Rebus

Rebus is a 3-year-old male Dalmatian. This beautiful photo was taken in the forest at Virginia Water, Windsor Great Park, on the Berkshire-Surrey borders.

One of my most passionate aims as a dog photographer is to capture the true personality of every dog that I photograph. Using only natural light in the dog's familiar surroundings, I decided to help all of these dogs have their stories told through photography.

Photography is my passion, pets are our life. I love nothing more than capturing that unique emotional connection and deep, unconditional love between an owner and their dog. As a child, I only have one photograph of me with my first dog Jenny, a rescue greyhound. I want to make sure that all dog lovers have at least one professional photograph of their dog that they can treasure forever.

#4 Vote For Cover 6 - Bonnie

Bonnie is a 3-and-a-half-year-old female rough-coated Jack Russell. This action photo was taken just off the Long Walk in Windsor, near the castle, in Berkshire.

#5 Vote For Cover 20 - Oren

Oren is a two-month-old male Labrador. This super cute photo of Oren, the future support dog, was taken on the Long Walk in Windsor, Berkshire, with the castle in the distance.

Anyone can take a photograph of a dog with their phone camera, and I encourage everyone to keep doing that. I love taking photographs of a dog’s true personality and character, and that special connection that you can get through the eyes of a dog. I pride myself in connecting with their soul through many of my on-location natural light portrait photography. Action photography is great fun, and whilst technically challenging, it is fulfilling when I can produce another great Dogs In Action photograph - of a dog being a dog.

#6 Vote For Cover 43 - Anushka

Anushka is an 8-month-old female Springer Spaniel. She kindly hopped up onto a natural wooden table at Lily Hill Park in Bracknell, Berkshire, for this photo.

#7 Vote For Cover 1 - Dougie

Dougie is a 12-year-old male Cockapoo. This peek-a-boo photo of the handsome Dougie was taken in the forest in Windsor Great Park, Berkshire.

I enjoy creating magical experiences for dogs and their owners in natural environments like parks and forests. I tend to take most of my photographs in Windsor Great Park in the UK and the surrounding forests around Ascot, where the dogs can enjoy their own magical experience.

For most dog lovers, their dog means the world to them. I want to give a voice to dogs and tell their story through photography. Whether it’s a dog in rescue, or a dog simply having fun with their owners, all dogs deserve their stories to be told.
