LostnHound.com is devoted to finding lost pets and was the brainchild of Vancouverite, and realtor, Glenn Renney. “I live near a busy road,” Renney tells visitors to the site. “One morning, I saw a stray dog wandering the street without a leash or an owner. I tried to approach the dog to read his tag; however, he was too scared. He ran towards traffic and what I thought might be a terrible fate. Owners can register their pets, and if a stray animal is spotted, this site can be used to notify the animal’s owner!”

While Renney reports that the incident he witnessed had a happy ending, many pets aren’t so lucky. Dogs tend to stray and wander. LostnHound.com provides a photo of your pet with contact information so you and your pet can be reunited quickly. If someone finds your dog, they can go to the site to find the owner. I think this is a great concept and congratulate folks who make an effort to help man's best friend!

For Tanya King, a dream became a reality when she opened The Dog & Hydrant boutique in Yaletown in 2006. “I love dogs and always wanted to open a dog boutique with a photo studio,” says Tanya.

The Dog & Hydrant Pet Photography Studio & Boutique was featured in Modern Dog magazine along with owner and fabulous pet photographer Tanya King.

Tanya has studied photography for the last 20 years, utilizing both film and digital. Before opening her own studio, she worked with an acclaimed commercial photographer for eight years.

Tanya has two wonderful dogs that bring a smile to her face every day. Of course she has many photos of them! She loves dogs and loves taking pictures of them. Tanya found herself taking pictures of dogs in her own studio and decided to include a doggy boutique into the mix. The result is a really special store at 1146 Pacific Boulevard in Vancouver.
