RAISING FUNDS FOR SUPPORT DOGS: FOR AUTISM, FOR EPILEPSY, FOR disability
Your Dog and their story can be featured in Volume 2 of Tails of The World
FUNDRAISING. CELEBRATING DOGS. WINDSOR.
Your dog deserves to be a star.
Tails of the World is an international collective of professional pet photographers, each celebrating the dogs of their region. Tails of the World: Windsor (mini sessions) is a fundraising project by Chris & Sue Miller of MIL Pet Photography.
There will be 10 sessions in total which will be held in May and June 2023. Dog owners who are interested in having their dog featured in the book will need to complete an application to be considered for the book project as we are strictly limited to submitting just 10 photos for the book.
We are now searching for dogs of all sizes, ages and breeds to participate having their photo taken around Windsor. Dogs can stay on leads if needed throughout and will be edited after the session.
We believe that every dog lover deserves permanent memories of their dog being themselves, and by joining in this project, we can capture the true personality of your dog on location around Windsor in stunning and emotive imagery. You will have the opportunity to purchase your favourite photos to display in your home to be treasured forever, all whilst raising much needed funds for our chosen charity, Support Dogs. You will also have the opportunity to purchase the book from Tails of the World when published in April 2024.
Please note, if you have more than one dog, we will gladly photograph multiple dogs but only one photo can be submitted for the book (this can be a single photo of multiple dogs).
Tails of The World: International Celebration of Dog
Throughout 2023, professional international dog photographers from across the globe are contributing towards Volume 2 of Tails of the World. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of this project and share your dog's amazing story with the rest of the world.
HOW IT WORKS....
APPLICATION
As we are strictly limited to just 10 dogs for Tails of the World, these places will be filled on an application basis. After completing a short application form, we will follow up with a short planning call, and confirm your reservation as soon as possible, and no later than April 14th.
REGISTER
For the lucky 10, you can then select the registration option that you would like, make payment, and choose a date. Your dog will then be famous and is guaranteed to star in Tails of the World. There will be a more detailed questionnaire to fill out about you and your dog, and we will confirm the date and location (preferences are accommodated wherever possible).
SESSION
Our fun time begins! We meet at the "Tails" Windsor location and simply have fun. If you are interested in just having your dog in the book, we will focus on just those few images. If you are interested in additional products, we will capture all kinds of varieties to choose from within the time available to us.

The Charity
This is a fundraising project for Support Dogs.
Support Dogs (registered charity number 1088281) is a national charity dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children and adults with various challenging medical conditions. They provide, train and support specialist assistance dogs to achieve this.
They specialise in three specific programmes:
1. Autism assistance dogs for autistic children. These dogs are trained to provide safety for the child and reduce stress in social environments.
2. Seizure alert dogs for people with epilepsy. Their dogs are trained to provide a 100% reliable, potentially life saving alert up to 1 hour before an epileptic seizure. This enables the client to find safety and be in control over their seizure, allowing a much more independent life.
3. Disability assistance dogs for people with physical disabilities. The client's own pet dog is trained to perform tasks which are specifically tailored to their individual needs, providing them greater independence and safety.
Established in 1992, Support Dogs works across England, Scotland and Wales and provides all it services entirely free of charge to those in need of them. However, the charity relies solely on voluntary donations and receives no government funding.
They are also very proud that 1 in 4 of the dogs they train come to them from rescue centres or as unwanted pets.
Chris & Sue Miller of MIL Pet Photography are proud to help Support Dogs, and raise much needed funds.
"We are delighted that Chris and Sue of MIL Pet Photography want to help us and raise funds as a contributing dog photographer to the Tails of the World book. £50 of each registration will be donated to our charity and will help us to provide live changing support for those affected by epilepsy, autism and disability. Thank you to Chris, Sue and all of the dog lovers associated with the chapter all about dogs from around Windsor, Berkshire, UK"
