Is Pet Life Radio. Let's talk pets.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
If you're a brand these days, whether you're in the
pet space or not, you know the value of having
pets involved in your campaigns. Nothing brings a quick smile
like cute images or a video of dogs and cats.
My guest today, Mindy Dutta is a photographer and marketer
for brands. She advises brands on how to increase their
(00:43):
impact by employing what she calls high impact photography that
connects pet brands with dog people. Mindy is also a
tireless advocate of animal rescue and has created relationships with
some very inspiring rescues and shelters in Mexico, in Columbia,
Puerto Rico, and right here in the US. We'll learn
(01:05):
about them. They're amazing stories as well as big missions
Mindy has been involved with to save animals. We're going
to also get some behind the seen stories of some
of the grand campaigns she's done, so you'll get a
peek behind the curtain. We're going to take a short
break from our sponsor, and when we return, you're going
to meet Medy. So grab that favorite beverage, get comfortable,
(01:27):
and we'll be right pet.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
How many of you have pets my hands raised now,
think about how lucky you are to have such a
sweet little pet in your life, and that pet is
lucky to have you too. But unfortunately, there are countless
pets out there that don't have a home to call
their own. However, Bob's from Sketchers is trying to change that,
so we developed Bob's for dogs and cats to help
pets in need. With every purchase of adorable Bob's footwear
(01:53):
or fun stylish apparel, or even the cutest Bob's Pet accessories,
Sketchers makes a donation to pet Co Love to help
save shelter pets. And with your help, we've already saved
the lives of over one million pets and raised over
seven million dollars. So while you're getting style and comfort
with features like Sketcher's famous memory foam cushioning, you're also
(02:13):
helping to save an adorable pet in need and helping
another lucky owner be connected with a future best friend
and companion, because happiness is having a loving pet by
your side. Find Bob's at a Sketcher's store, sketchers dot com,
select pet Co locations, or wherever. Style of footwear is sold.

Let's talk pets on petlife Radio dot com.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Welcome back to listening to Bark and Swagger on pet
Life Radio. I'm Jody Taiche, your host. We're joined today
by Mindy Tuka, a brand and pet portrait photographer and
marketing strategists for brands on them with dog people.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Welcome Inndy, Hi, Jodi, thanks for having me on your show.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It is my pleasure. How are you today?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Good?
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Good?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So I'm very excited to dive in because we all see,
you know, more and more commercials with dogs in them
or cats in them, and print campaigns. I want to
know a little bit more and maybe our listeners do too,
about what it's like. So first tell listeners what you do,
and then let's dive behind scenes.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Okay, that sounds great, well, and a short version is
really I combine my passion and my knowledge for photography,
dogs and storytelling, and I photographed for brands, pet parents,
and animal advocates. So I'm really using the dog photos,
you know, to tell the stories of brands, to capture
(03:54):
priceless memories for pet parents, and to create awareness and
raise funds for animals. So there's a lot of different
things actually that the power of photography extends.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
To Yeah, we love that because we are huge rescue
advocates here at Bark and Swagger. Give my listeners a
peek behind the curtain with maybe a couple of stories
from brand shoots that you've done.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
What's it like.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
It's always fun, it's always interesting. There's kind of two
different types of brand shoots. Often sometimes it's more of
an on location or a documentary type of photo shoot.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
For example, I photographed.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
For a large veterinary emergency group and they have emergency
hospitals around the country, but basically they're unique. Their story
is that they don't separate pet parents from the pets,
so they want to capture them in action and what's
(04:57):
actually happening. So in an instance that I go to
the different vet clinics and basically spend a great deal
of time just sort of photographing what comes through the
doors as you know it's happening.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
I actually one time.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Was invited into the r to photograph they were doing.
A golden retriever had gotten into some corn on the cob,
and actually it was interesting because the dad brought him
in saying he thought he got it out of his
mouth and you know that there was it was fine,
but he just wanted to be sure.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Well, actually it was like.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
The Volkswagen commercial where people just kept coming out of
the Volkswagon. They opened up his stomach and literally there
was a bowl filled with just like there was I
don't know, eight nine small pieces of corn on the cob.
I don't even know how would fit in this dog's stomach.
So that was an interesting kesperience for me to be
(06:01):
able to watch that, see that.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Happening, you know.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
And they also do exotic animals. So one time one
of the vet texts brought in her skunk to be photographed,
and that was interesting and I actually got bit by
the skunk.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
I was in the zone of my photographing and the
skunk seems so calm and tame that I reached out
to like move his little foot to improve the shot,
which that was not wise.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And when people keep skunk's as pets, do they still
have their scent?
Speaker 6 (06:47):
No, he was decented, had rabies and actually I don't
even think you're allowed to keep a skunk as a pet.
She had him as a special certification. She brought him
into schools to educate, so I think that was a
special classification and that's why she had the pet. So
(07:07):
so that's more of a documentary type of photograph.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
That you know I do.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
And then other times brands, well another pet brand, they'll
send me their products.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
And then what I do is I do all the planning.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
I get the dog models, I choose the location, I
work out a storyboard, and there's a lot of time
behind the scenes talking to the brand so I really
can dive in and understand what their story is and
what I want to, you know, how I want to
tell that story in the photos.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
And one was a fun one.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
It was a supplement company and just to make it
a little unique, I mean, the idea is, you know,
it's wellness and a bit of self care for the
dogs and cats. So I had actually it was a
golden retriever that was the model, and he wore my bathrobe.
(08:07):
So and I had a breakfast tray with the bowl
and the supplements on it and we served him breakfast
in bed and photograph that that one, right, So that
was a lot.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
That was a lot of.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Fun, really really cute, very cute, mindy, Where do you
find your models for your shots? Seeing your local or
could people listening, you know, possibly maybe in the Boston
area where I know you're located, reach out through your
site and put their puppies hat in the rings so
(08:44):
to speak.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Absolutely, absolutely so, depending on what the shoot is and
the type of dog and the sized dog that I'm
looking for, like your dog can be famous and you know,
particularly depending on you know, what I'm looking for. Sometimes
I'm looking for them to be able to hold a
sit stay. Sometimes I'm looking for a big dog. So yes,
(09:05):
by all means, I've always got my eye out for
dog models. I also do something interesting and will work
with shelters.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
And use their dogs as models.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
I recently, I was in I had a photo shoot
for a dog toy company and I happened to have
been in New Orleans and so I connected up with
the Louisiana SPCA used their dogs in the photos. So
it served many purposes and I donated to them, you know,
(09:39):
for the being able to use the dog, so that
was helpful. The exposure for the dogs was helpful, the
outing for the dogs to be able to do that
was helpful, and the Louisiana SPCA promoted those photos. So
the client does very well, you know, if they're interested
(10:01):
in working with me on that program helping dogs in need,
They're getting a little bit extra exposure, you know, for
what they're doing.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
So it really it depends.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Sometimes I'm that crazy lady in a dog parker. I'm
out somewhere and I see a dog and I'm like,
by the way, your dog will be perfect for one
of these shoots I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I have my card proverbial discovered you know, at the
park or discovered you know wherever, right.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Models exactly, So yeah, I definitely I have a model
database and I'm always interested anybody.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
They can email me at Hello at Dogs.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
We're going to go through all that. I want to
let people know at the end of this you know, interview,
where they can find you. There are a couple of
things to unpack with this. Number One, if you we
have people listening to Bark and Swagger that have their
own brands, they are dog fashion designers or have other
(11:05):
fashion oriented brands in the pet space, and Mindy could
be a great resource for you to have amazing photos
of your products. And also, if you have a dog
that you want to that isn't you know that is
in the area in the Boston area that you think
would be a great dog model. At the end of
(11:27):
the segment, we're going to give you all the contact
information for Mindy. So this could be a lot of
fun across the board. So Mindy, you're also a really
a tireless advocate of animal rescue and a supporter of
rescues all over the place, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Central America.
You share their stories, you have fundraise for them, you
(11:50):
do photography for them, tell us a little bit about
some of them.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
It's been really, i don't know, heartwarming, eye opening, sad.
Happy to do this, but well, just to backtrack my
tagline of my business, because every dog has a tail,
t a l e. And I really, you know, believe
every dog has many tails, and then they have the
(12:15):
tails they bring to us for being in our lives.
But I felt that photography, you know, could really be
helpful to rescues again for creating awareness and raising money
and even dogs and shelters. I often say a good
photograph can be the difference between life and death for
a dog.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
In a shelter. It really can.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
But I also have a passion for travel, so it
was interesting to me to sort of, you know, marry
the travel and get to know about different rescues around
the world. And it all the traveling part started. I
volunteered to photograph a Spain neuter clinic in Mexico in
(12:59):
Clia del Carmen, and it was a big five day event.
I probably photographed thousands of dogs and cats and it.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Was just really like.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
An eye opener and it was so interesting, and I
got to meet a lot of independent rescue organizations. Really
a vibrant rescue community. So it's sort of like the
best and the worst. There's horrible stories about the mistreatment
and the terrible things that happened to the animals, but
(13:29):
then there's these people that like tirelessly work to rescue
them and care for them, and they really do such
amazing work.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
So I got to know.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
A lot of these different rescues, and that was about
six years ago, I think that I started doing that,
and I've come to know the group of rescues in Mexico,
and I've also on the board of a foundation called
the Global United Foundation. So in addition to the work,
I'm going to circle back to the Mexico But in
(14:01):
addition to that, I traveled to Puerto Rico, shortly after
Hurricane Maria again to document and create awareness of what
was happening because the were noosp neuter clinics was really
really bad with the overpopulation, and we were able to
raise some money and have the photos, which really, you know,
(14:23):
you can tell people, but it's not the same thing
as seeing photos and understanding what's absolutely happening.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Sure tells us. Picture speaks a thousand words.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Right, exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, we're going to take a short break from our sponsor,
but don't go away because when we return, we're going
to learn about a pizza loving Rhodesian ridgeback named sal
you heard that right, and a dog remembered by her
loving family through Mindy's photos. So refresh that diverage gay Posey,
(15:01):
and we'll be right there.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Welcome back. If you've just joined, you're listening to Bark
and Swagger on pet Life Radio, and I am Jody
Tis your host. We're here today with Mindy dot gut
brand and pet portrait photographer and Seeking Future Dog Models
photographer whose rescue work has inspired her to go to Mexico,
(16:26):
Puerto Rico, Colombia and beyond. I read on your site, Mindy,
that you took a tour in twenty nineteen of rescues
in Mexico. What was that trip like?
Speaker 6 (16:37):
So that trip all serendipitously things sort of converged in
Mexico for me.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
I was also involved in planning.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
A retreat for dog photographers. There was another hat of
a different life. I had an event planning company, but
I got to as I mentioned, I got to know
these rescues and I did basically like a behind the
scenes get to know. I did it actually two years
in a row, I think it was twenty eighteen and
twenty nineteen, and I took a group of international dog photographers.
(17:10):
I think there might have been eight of us literally
from all over the world, some of them for the
New Zealand, California.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
I think someone was from England, and we went to
these rescues.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
One was actually deep in the jungle and I had
somebody bring us in. It wasn't the type of thing
where you could take a taxi and say drop us
a lot, but it was the man had built like
its own little protected shelter and he rescues the really
(17:42):
like down and out. You know, it seems they find him.
So we were there, we photographed there, and we also
went to a rescue called Sos l Arca, which I'm
going to talk a little bit about that in present
day as well. And they are more of an actual
shelter that people leave the dogs all the time, so
(18:04):
they're always getting dogs there and cats there. People just
kind of leave them in front of the shelter. But
they do remarkable work. And the idea was bringing these
photographers there was that we donated the photographs and the
videos for them to use for awareness, but these people
(18:24):
lived in my heart and seeing all these dogs, and
the other thing that I was so taken by was
every dog that I met, whatever their story was, was friendly,
like they were so sweet and loving and wagging their
tail and eating out of my hand, and it just
was a reminder of how amazing dogs are. Even after
(18:46):
terrible things, they still wanted to trust and love. But
the whole, biggest crux of the problem is overpopulation, you know,
is where you wind up with the need for all
of these people to take care of these animals. So
sos Larca has committed to doing three years of monthly
(19:08):
Spain Neuter clinics. They started last year they did eight
clinics and were able to Spain neuter thirty five hundred animals.
I'm going down there in March and through Global United Foundation,
which is a five oh one c three US based nonprofit,
so all tax deductible donations, we are helping to support
(19:32):
this campaign because it's truly the only way to eradicate
the overpopulation. And they're doing about four hundred dogs per
clinic and I'm really excited about it. So you know,
we can talk about that too. But people if they
can donate, if you can't donate, any amount is helpful.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yeah, there's going to be a link underneath this episode
on the Bark and Swaber page of the Pet Life
radio site where you can donate to Global United if
you like. I'll also be a couple of photographs on
the Bark and Swagger page, so you get to see
Mindy who you're listening to, and maybe you know Mindy
(20:11):
will give us a couple of pictures of her adventures,
so you'll get to see all of that as well.
It's a tough situation, you know, it's overpopulation and having
to spay a neuter all these dogs is arduous, expensive
and not good for the animals. It's not good to
stay a neuter, especially young. But we really don't have
(20:35):
a whole lot of options trying to solve this problem
when it comes to stray animals. So it's a tough situation.
It is tough. I want to talk about some fun
stories from Dogs I Meet, and let's introduce my listeners
to your brand Dogs I Meet, because it truly is
(20:57):
that you share with you your audience, your tribe, the
dogs that you meet on your adventures and in your life,
So tell us a couple of your favorite stories.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Well, I'm going to tell you one.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
I'm going to tell you a couple, but one that's
so cool because you just never know where a story
is going to go. And I'll try to make it quick.
But I was in Cardagenia photographing for a shelter that
I did some work with and raise some money for
and kept in touch with the owner of the woman
who ran the shelter, and I did put a story
(21:30):
up on my website, and probably about a month ago,
six weeks ago, at like ten thirty at night, I
received an email saying, please help, can you rescue a
dog in Saint Andrew's Square in Cardagenia, And I was like,
and then I said, must be Google. They must have
(21:52):
found me, because these people want to help a dog
that they've come across.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
And the long and short story.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Was actually the the people that reached out to me,
because that's what happened, were from traveling in Columbia from
New Jersey, and I let them know.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Who I was.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
And the woman who owned the ran the dog shelter
was in France. Because she wasn't from Colombia, I was
able to connect everybody up through you know, a lot
of what's happying and messaging and so forth and back
and forth. The woman in France was able to get
(22:29):
us somebody who was in Cardigania who was able to
come out and rescue the dog.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
The dog is rescued.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
The dog has been vetted, it's healing beautifully. It's currently
in Cardagenia. We are in the process of getting its
paperwork done. It's going to be flown to JFK Rescue.
Straight from the Heart has agreed to sponsor him and
help him find a home. And so I kind of
(22:58):
love that story story too.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I was straight from the heart and the power of
technology today and what we can do, and that is
such a beautiful example of saving a life through that.
So that's amazing. Mindy, good on you. I want to
hear also about the pizza loving dog.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Ah that must be Sal, so that sales Sala is
one of my favorites. I think Sal was about nine
or ten months old. He's a Rhodesian ridgeback. His mom
hired me for a photo shoot and we did an
urban shoot in Boston and he was a rock star model.
And there happens to be I think there's a couple
(23:42):
of stories called Sal's Pizzeria, and his mom was like,
oh my god, we have to go to Sal's Pizzeria
and you have to get a photo of Sal underneath
the Sal's Pizzeria sign. And I was like, sure, so
we did and she told me, like, such a funny story.
Apparently Sally loves pizza. He mugs people, he was. She
(24:05):
had him in the park one time and a man,
I guess, was doing like a picnic in the park
with a box of pizza and Sal got a whiff
and ran after him and pizza.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
My dogs love pizza too, so I'm sure Sal is
not alone, right, king boy? So when he mobs someone
for their watch out exactly.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
And speaking of dog models, I had so some several
years past, and I was.
Speaker 10 (24:38):
Doing a photo shoot for a dog dog food and
dog treat company and I reached out because I thought
Sal would be perfect, and Sal and his mom modeled
for that shoot and now they're featured on the brand,
which my zone Blue, which is a great great dog
treat for anybody.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
Now Sal is on their website and so that was
really fun.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah, yeah, then the start.
Speaker 11 (25:07):
Continued, that's okay, Sal's mom contacted me a few months
later with some exciting news that she was pregnant and
she wanted to announce that Sal was going to be
a big brother.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
So I actually did a photo shoot. That's the first
time I met her husband and we did a photo shoot.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
It was adorable.
Speaker 6 (25:30):
She brought a few props and Sal had a sign
around his neck, you know, big brother, and we had
some baby shoes. It was really one really cute shot
I did because I have sort of a signature shot
where I just do the people's feet and bottoms of their.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Legs and the dog by there.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
And that's a great shot because a lot of times
people don't want to be in a photograph, or if
they're going to put a photograph up big on their wall,
they don't necessarily want to see themselves.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
But it's important to have sure that.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Connection, and a shot like that does a great job
at that. It's a fun shot. It's a good viewpoint.
You see the connection, but you don't have to look
at your face.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
I'm on the wall.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
But I love that idea of you know, a shoot
around a family expecting and the dog becoming a big
brother or sister. What a great idea everybody listening. That
could be something fun in your family, if it makes sense.
So there was another dog that I came across from
(26:33):
your stories on your site named Sophie that was quite
moving and poignant. Tell us about that.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Well, So Sophie's mom had contacted me that Sophie was
getting older and she wanted to do a photo shoot.
And so I actually went to her house because Sophie
wasn't able to venture out that far, and we did
a photo shoot and captured a lot of great photos.
(27:05):
And you know, her mom purchased you know, one of
the packages and had several of the different photos. And
when I say photos too, I want to stress that
for the private shoots that I do. You know, everyone's
got an iPhone and everybody's got the digital photos, but
nobody really takes the time to, you know, actually have a.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Piece of art, whether it be.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
A large canvas or a framed piece or an acrylic block.
You know. So that's one of the things that I
do is make sure that those photos taken wind up
as a permanent, priceless memory that's not like a small
little picture that's a digital that never comes off of
(27:51):
anybody's phone and sadly, Sophie, you know, she passed short
maybe a few months after the photos, and her mom
got back to me and told me how important that
those photos were. And not only were they priceless memories,
but she said that they really helped her process her
(28:13):
grief by being able to have those photos. That's another
thing about the value of professional photos of really, you know,
being able to capture the essence of the dog, because
I'm trained to do that. I've spent lots of time, you know,
I'm constantly, you know, working on my craft. I have
(28:36):
equipment that most people don't have. I've produced pieces of
actual art for them, you know. And so it really
was meaningful to her and really helped her process her grief.
And I actually, like a year or two later, she
got another dog, and she didn't wait this time until
the dog was old. She called me right away and said,
(28:58):
I got squirt. You got to meet you have to
do a photo shoot for Squirk.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
That is wonderful.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I was going to say that to Mindy that you know,
we take pictures of our animals all the time with
our iPhones or you know, whatever our handheld devices are,
and that's fun and wonderful and definitely our memories. But
there is nothing like having photographs, whether it's just your
(29:29):
beloved pets or you and your pets, it done professionally
like art. I absolutely agree with you. It puts a
whole different feeling and spin on it, and I really
encourage people to consider that, especially now after hearing about
Sophie's mom and how it was so important in processing
(29:50):
her grief about losing her dog.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
So, and we're going to have a couple of examples

Speaker 2 (00:22):
If you're a brand these days, whether you're in the
pet space or not, you know the value of having
pets involved in your campaigns. Nothing brings a quick smile
like cute images or a video of dogs and cats.
My guest today, Mindy Dutta is a photographer and marketer
for brands. She advises brands on how to increase their
(00:43):
impact by employing what she calls high impact photography that
connects pet brands with dog people. Mindy is also a
tireless advocate of animal rescue and has created relationships with
some very inspiring rescues and shelters in Mexico, in Columbia,
Puerto Rico, and right here in the US. We'll learn
(01:05):
about them. They're amazing stories as well as big missions
Mindy has been involved with to save animals. We're going
to also get some behind the seen stories of some
of the grand campaigns she's done, so you'll get a
peek behind the curtain. We're going to take a short
break from our sponsor, and when we return, you're going
to meet Medy. So grab that favorite beverage, get comfortable,
(01:27):
and we'll be right pet.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
How many of you have pets my hands raised now,
think about how lucky you are to have such a
sweet little pet in your life, and that pet is
lucky to have you too. But unfortunately, there are countless
pets out there that don't have a home to call
their own. However, Bob's from Sketchers is trying to change that,
so we developed Bob's for dogs and cats to help
pets in need. With every purchase of adorable Bob's footwear
(01:53):
or fun stylish apparel, or even the cutest Bob's Pet accessories,
Sketchers makes a donation to pet Co Love to help
save shelter pets. And with your help, we've already saved
the lives of over one million pets and raised over
seven million dollars. So while you're getting style and comfort
with features like Sketcher's famous memory foam cushioning, you're also
(02:13):
helping to save an adorable pet in need and helping
another lucky owner be connected with a future best friend
and companion, because happiness is having a loving pet by
your side. Find Bob's at a Sketcher's store, sketchers dot com,
select pet Co locations, or wherever. Style of footwear is sold.

Let's talk pets on petlife Radio dot com.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Welcome back to listening to Bark and Swagger on pet
Life Radio. I'm Jody Taiche, your host. We're joined today
by Mindy Tuka, a brand and pet portrait photographer and
marketing strategists for brands on them with dog people.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Welcome Inndy, Hi, Jodi, thanks for having me on your show.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It is my pleasure. How are you today?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Good?
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Good?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So I'm very excited to dive in because we all see,
you know, more and more commercials with dogs in them
or cats in them, and print campaigns. I want to
know a little bit more and maybe our listeners do too,
about what it's like. So first tell listeners what you do,
and then let's dive behind scenes.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Okay, that sounds great, well, and a short version is
really I combine my passion and my knowledge for photography,
dogs and storytelling, and I photographed for brands, pet parents,
and animal advocates. So I'm really using the dog photos,
you know, to tell the stories of brands, to capture
(03:54):
priceless memories for pet parents, and to create awareness and
raise funds for animals. So there's a lot of different
things actually that the power of photography extends.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
To Yeah, we love that because we are huge rescue
advocates here at Bark and Swagger. Give my listeners a
peek behind the curtain with maybe a couple of stories
from brand shoots that you've done.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
What's it like.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
It's always fun, it's always interesting. There's kind of two
different types of brand shoots. Often sometimes it's more of
an on location or a documentary type of photo shoot.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
For example, I photographed.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
For a large veterinary emergency group and they have emergency
hospitals around the country, but basically they're unique. Their story
is that they don't separate pet parents from the pets,
so they want to capture them in action and what's
(04:57):
actually happening. So in an instance that I go to
the different vet clinics and basically spend a great deal
of time just sort of photographing what comes through the
doors as you know it's happening.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
I actually one time.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Was invited into the r to photograph they were doing.
A golden retriever had gotten into some corn on the cob,
and actually it was interesting because the dad brought him
in saying he thought he got it out of his
mouth and you know that there was it was fine,
but he just wanted to be sure.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Well, actually it was like.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
The Volkswagen commercial where people just kept coming out of
the Volkswagon. They opened up his stomach and literally there
was a bowl filled with just like there was I
don't know, eight nine small pieces of corn on the cob.
I don't even know how would fit in this dog's stomach.
So that was an interesting kesperience for me to be
(06:01):
able to watch that, see that.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Happening, you know.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
And they also do exotic animals. So one time one
of the vet texts brought in her skunk to be photographed,
and that was interesting and I actually got bit by
the skunk.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
I was in the zone of my photographing and the
skunk seems so calm and tame that I reached out
to like move his little foot to improve the shot,
which that was not wise.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And when people keep skunk's as pets, do they still
have their scent?
Speaker 6 (06:47):
No, he was decented, had rabies and actually I don't
even think you're allowed to keep a skunk as a pet.
She had him as a special certification. She brought him
into schools to educate, so I think that was a
special classification and that's why she had the pet. So
(07:07):
so that's more of a documentary type of photograph.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
That you know I do.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
And then other times brands, well another pet brand, they'll
send me their products.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
And then what I do is I do all the planning.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
I get the dog models, I choose the location, I
work out a storyboard, and there's a lot of time
behind the scenes talking to the brand so I really
can dive in and understand what their story is and
what I want to, you know, how I want to
tell that story in the photos.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
And one was a fun one.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
It was a supplement company and just to make it
a little unique, I mean, the idea is, you know,
it's wellness and a bit of self care for the
dogs and cats. So I had actually it was a
golden retriever that was the model, and he wore my bathrobe.
(08:07):
So and I had a breakfast tray with the bowl
and the supplements on it and we served him breakfast
in bed and photograph that that one, right, So that
was a lot.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
That was a lot of.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Fun, really really cute, very cute, mindy, Where do you
find your models for your shots? Seeing your local or
could people listening, you know, possibly maybe in the Boston
area where I know you're located, reach out through your
site and put their puppies hat in the rings so
(08:44):
to speak.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Absolutely, absolutely so, depending on what the shoot is and
the type of dog and the sized dog that I'm
looking for, like your dog can be famous and you know,
particularly depending on you know, what I'm looking for. Sometimes
I'm looking for them to be able to hold a
sit stay. Sometimes I'm looking for a big dog. So yes,
(09:05):
by all means, I've always got my eye out for
dog models. I also do something interesting and will work
with shelters.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
And use their dogs as models.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
I recently, I was in I had a photo shoot
for a dog toy company and I happened to have
been in New Orleans and so I connected up with
the Louisiana SPCA used their dogs in the photos. So
it served many purposes and I donated to them, you know,
(09:39):
for the being able to use the dog, so that
was helpful. The exposure for the dogs was helpful, the
outing for the dogs to be able to do that
was helpful, and the Louisiana SPCA promoted those photos. So
the client does very well, you know, if they're interested
(10:01):
in working with me on that program helping dogs in need,
They're getting a little bit extra exposure, you know, for
what they're doing.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
So it really it depends.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Sometimes I'm that crazy lady in a dog parker. I'm
out somewhere and I see a dog and I'm like,
by the way, your dog will be perfect for one
of these shoots I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I have my card proverbial discovered you know, at the
park or discovered you know wherever, right.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Models exactly, So yeah, I definitely I have a model
database and I'm always interested anybody.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
They can email me at Hello at Dogs.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
We're going to go through all that. I want to
let people know at the end of this you know, interview,
where they can find you. There are a couple of
things to unpack with this. Number One, if you we
have people listening to Bark and Swagger that have their
own brands, they are dog fashion designers or have other
(11:05):
fashion oriented brands in the pet space, and Mindy could
be a great resource for you to have amazing photos
of your products. And also, if you have a dog
that you want to that isn't you know that is
in the area in the Boston area that you think
would be a great dog model. At the end of
(11:27):
the segment, we're going to give you all the contact
information for Mindy. So this could be a lot of
fun across the board. So Mindy, you're also a really
a tireless advocate of animal rescue and a supporter of
rescues all over the place, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Central America.
You share their stories, you have fundraise for them, you
(11:50):
do photography for them, tell us a little bit about
some of them.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
It's been really, i don't know, heartwarming, eye opening, sad.
Happy to do this, but well, just to backtrack my
tagline of my business, because every dog has a tail,
t a l e. And I really, you know, believe
every dog has many tails, and then they have the
(12:15):
tails they bring to us for being in our lives.
But I felt that photography, you know, could really be
helpful to rescues again for creating awareness and raising money
and even dogs and shelters. I often say a good
photograph can be the difference between life and death for
a dog.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
In a shelter. It really can.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
But I also have a passion for travel, so it
was interesting to me to sort of, you know, marry
the travel and get to know about different rescues around
the world. And it all the traveling part started. I
volunteered to photograph a Spain neuter clinic in Mexico in
(12:59):
Clia del Carmen, and it was a big five day event.
I probably photographed thousands of dogs and cats and it.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Was just really like.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
An eye opener and it was so interesting, and I
got to meet a lot of independent rescue organizations. Really
a vibrant rescue community. So it's sort of like the
best and the worst. There's horrible stories about the mistreatment
and the terrible things that happened to the animals, but
(13:29):
then there's these people that like tirelessly work to rescue
them and care for them, and they really do such
amazing work.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
So I got to know.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
A lot of these different rescues, and that was about
six years ago, I think that I started doing that,
and I've come to know the group of rescues in Mexico,
and I've also on the board of a foundation called
the Global United Foundation. So in addition to the work,
I'm going to circle back to the Mexico But in
(14:01):
addition to that, I traveled to Puerto Rico, shortly after
Hurricane Maria again to document and create awareness of what
was happening because the were noosp neuter clinics was really
really bad with the overpopulation, and we were able to
raise some money and have the photos, which really, you know,
(14:23):
you can tell people, but it's not the same thing
as seeing photos and understanding what's absolutely happening.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Sure tells us. Picture speaks a thousand words.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Right, exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, we're going to take a short break from our sponsor,
but don't go away because when we return, we're going
to learn about a pizza loving Rhodesian ridgeback named sal
you heard that right, and a dog remembered by her
loving family through Mindy's photos. So refresh that diverage gay Posey,
(15:01):
and we'll be right there.

Radio, Petline Radio, petlfradio dot com.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Welcome back. If you've just joined, you're listening to Bark
and Swagger on pet Life Radio, and I am Jody
Tis your host. We're here today with Mindy dot gut
brand and pet portrait photographer and Seeking Future Dog Models
photographer whose rescue work has inspired her to go to Mexico,
(16:26):
Puerto Rico, Colombia and beyond. I read on your site, Mindy,
that you took a tour in twenty nineteen of rescues
in Mexico. What was that trip like?
Speaker 6 (16:37):
So that trip all serendipitously things sort of converged in
Mexico for me.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
I was also involved in planning.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
A retreat for dog photographers. There was another hat of
a different life. I had an event planning company, but
I got to as I mentioned, I got to know
these rescues and I did basically like a behind the
scenes get to know. I did it actually two years
in a row, I think it was twenty eighteen and
twenty nineteen, and I took a group of international dog photographers.
(17:10):
I think there might have been eight of us literally
from all over the world, some of them for the
New Zealand, California.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
I think someone was from England, and we went to
these rescues.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
One was actually deep in the jungle and I had
somebody bring us in. It wasn't the type of thing
where you could take a taxi and say drop us
a lot, but it was the man had built like
its own little protected shelter and he rescues the really
(17:42):
like down and out. You know, it seems they find him.
So we were there, we photographed there, and we also
went to a rescue called Sos l Arca, which I'm
going to talk a little bit about that in present
day as well. And they are more of an actual
shelter that people leave the dogs all the time, so
(18:04):
they're always getting dogs there and cats there. People just
kind of leave them in front of the shelter. But
they do remarkable work. And the idea was bringing these
photographers there was that we donated the photographs and the
videos for them to use for awareness, but these people
(18:24):
lived in my heart and seeing all these dogs, and
the other thing that I was so taken by was
every dog that I met, whatever their story was, was friendly,
like they were so sweet and loving and wagging their
tail and eating out of my hand, and it just
was a reminder of how amazing dogs are. Even after
(18:46):
terrible things, they still wanted to trust and love. But
the whole, biggest crux of the problem is overpopulation, you know,
is where you wind up with the need for all
of these people to take care of these animals. So
sos Larca has committed to doing three years of monthly
(19:08):
Spain Neuter clinics. They started last year they did eight
clinics and were able to Spain neuter thirty five hundred animals.
I'm going down there in March and through Global United Foundation,
which is a five oh one c three US based nonprofit,
so all tax deductible donations, we are helping to support
(19:32):
this campaign because it's truly the only way to eradicate
the overpopulation. And they're doing about four hundred dogs per
clinic and I'm really excited about it. So you know,
we can talk about that too. But people if they
can donate, if you can't donate, any amount is helpful.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yeah, there's going to be a link underneath this episode
on the Bark and Swaber page of the Pet Life
radio site where you can donate to Global United if
you like. I'll also be a couple of photographs on
the Bark and Swagger page, so you get to see
Mindy who you're listening to, and maybe you know Mindy
(20:11):
will give us a couple of pictures of her adventures,
so you'll get to see all of that as well.
It's a tough situation, you know, it's overpopulation and having
to spay a neuter all these dogs is arduous, expensive
and not good for the animals. It's not good to
stay a neuter, especially young. But we really don't have
(20:35):
a whole lot of options trying to solve this problem
when it comes to stray animals. So it's a tough situation.
It is tough. I want to talk about some fun
stories from Dogs I Meet, and let's introduce my listeners
to your brand Dogs I Meet, because it truly is
(20:57):
that you share with you your audience, your tribe, the
dogs that you meet on your adventures and in your life,
So tell us a couple of your favorite stories.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Well, I'm going to tell you one.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
I'm going to tell you a couple, but one that's
so cool because you just never know where a story
is going to go. And I'll try to make it quick.
But I was in Cardagenia photographing for a shelter that
I did some work with and raise some money for
and kept in touch with the owner of the woman
who ran the shelter, and I did put a story
(21:30):
up on my website, and probably about a month ago,
six weeks ago, at like ten thirty at night, I
received an email saying, please help, can you rescue a
dog in Saint Andrew's Square in Cardagenia, And I was like,
and then I said, must be Google. They must have
(21:52):
found me, because these people want to help a dog
that they've come across.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
And the long and short story.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Was actually the the people that reached out to me,
because that's what happened, were from traveling in Columbia from
New Jersey, and I let them know.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Who I was.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
And the woman who owned the ran the dog shelter
was in France. Because she wasn't from Colombia, I was
able to connect everybody up through you know, a lot
of what's happying and messaging and so forth and back
and forth. The woman in France was able to get
(22:29):
us somebody who was in Cardigania who was able to
come out and rescue the dog.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
The dog is rescued.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
The dog has been vetted, it's healing beautifully. It's currently
in Cardagenia. We are in the process of getting its
paperwork done. It's going to be flown to JFK Rescue.
Straight from the Heart has agreed to sponsor him and
help him find a home. And so I kind of
(22:58):
love that story story too.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I was straight from the heart and the power of
technology today and what we can do, and that is
such a beautiful example of saving a life through that.
So that's amazing. Mindy, good on you. I want to
hear also about the pizza loving dog.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Ah that must be Sal, so that sales Sala is
one of my favorites. I think Sal was about nine
or ten months old. He's a Rhodesian ridgeback. His mom
hired me for a photo shoot and we did an
urban shoot in Boston and he was a rock star model.
And there happens to be I think there's a couple
(23:42):
of stories called Sal's Pizzeria, and his mom was like,
oh my god, we have to go to Sal's Pizzeria
and you have to get a photo of Sal underneath
the Sal's Pizzeria sign. And I was like, sure, so
we did and she told me, like, such a funny story.
Apparently Sally loves pizza. He mugs people, he was. She
(24:05):
had him in the park one time and a man,
I guess, was doing like a picnic in the park
with a box of pizza and Sal got a whiff
and ran after him and pizza.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
My dogs love pizza too, so I'm sure Sal is
not alone, right, king boy? So when he mobs someone
for their watch out exactly.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
And speaking of dog models, I had so some several
years past, and I was.
Speaker 10 (24:38):
Doing a photo shoot for a dog dog food and
dog treat company and I reached out because I thought
Sal would be perfect, and Sal and his mom modeled
for that shoot and now they're featured on the brand,
which my zone Blue, which is a great great dog
treat for anybody.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
Now Sal is on their website and so that was
really fun.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah, yeah, then the start.
Speaker 11 (25:07):
Continued, that's okay, Sal's mom contacted me a few months
later with some exciting news that she was pregnant and
she wanted to announce that Sal was going to be
a big brother.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
So I actually did a photo shoot. That's the first
time I met her husband and we did a photo shoot.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
It was adorable.
Speaker 6 (25:30):
She brought a few props and Sal had a sign
around his neck, you know, big brother, and we had
some baby shoes. It was really one really cute shot
I did because I have sort of a signature shot
where I just do the people's feet and bottoms of their.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Legs and the dog by there.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
And that's a great shot because a lot of times
people don't want to be in a photograph, or if
they're going to put a photograph up big on their wall,
they don't necessarily want to see themselves.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
But it's important to have sure that.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Connection, and a shot like that does a great job
at that. It's a fun shot. It's a good viewpoint.
You see the connection, but you don't have to look
at your face.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
I'm on the wall.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
But I love that idea of you know, a shoot
around a family expecting and the dog becoming a big
brother or sister. What a great idea everybody listening. That
could be something fun in your family, if it makes sense.
So there was another dog that I came across from
(26:33):
your stories on your site named Sophie that was quite
moving and poignant. Tell us about that.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Well, So Sophie's mom had contacted me that Sophie was
getting older and she wanted to do a photo shoot.
And so I actually went to her house because Sophie
wasn't able to venture out that far, and we did
a photo shoot and captured a lot of great photos.
(27:05):
And you know, her mom purchased you know, one of
the packages and had several of the different photos. And
when I say photos too, I want to stress that
for the private shoots that I do. You know, everyone's
got an iPhone and everybody's got the digital photos, but
nobody really takes the time to, you know, actually have a.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Piece of art, whether it be.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
A large canvas or a framed piece or an acrylic block.
You know. So that's one of the things that I
do is make sure that those photos taken wind up
as a permanent, priceless memory that's not like a small
little picture that's a digital that never comes off of
(27:51):
anybody's phone and sadly, Sophie, you know, she passed short
maybe a few months after the photos, and her mom
got back to me and told me how important that
those photos were. And not only were they priceless memories,
but she said that they really helped her process her
(28:13):
grief by being able to have those photos. That's another
thing about the value of professional photos of really, you know,
being able to capture the essence of the dog, because
I'm trained to do that. I've spent lots of time, you know,
I'm constantly, you know, working on my craft. I have
(28:36):
equipment that most people don't have. I've produced pieces of
actual art for them, you know. And so it really
was meaningful to her and really helped her process her grief.
And I actually, like a year or two later, she
got another dog, and she didn't wait this time until
the dog was old. She called me right away and said,
(28:58):
I got squirt. You got to meet you have to
do a photo shoot for Squirk.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
That is wonderful.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I was going to say that to Mindy that you know,
we take pictures of our animals all the time with
our iPhones or you know, whatever our handheld devices are,
and that's fun and wonderful and definitely our memories. But
there is nothing like having photographs, whether it's just your
(29:29):
beloved pets or you and your pets, it done professionally
like art. I absolutely agree with you. It puts a
whole different feeling and spin on it, and I really
encourage people to consider that, especially now after hearing about
Sophie's mom and how it was so important in processing
(29:50):
her grief about losing her dog.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
So, and we're going to have a couple of examples
of Mindy's work on the Bark and Swagger page for

she does. So where can people find you, whether they
want to donate to Global United, whether they want to
