Update #21: WE GOT PRESS!!
Hi Everyone!
Hope this update finds you well. Just wanted to give you a few updates about Project DOG - first off, WE GOT PRESS!
MODERN DOG MAGAZINE (current spring issue) - We got a fabulous book review in Modern Dog!! I'm so thrilled, this is a really big deal and I'm so glad that they loved the book and supported our mission! We got the first review, and they even used another photo (Bentley the Bernese rescue) on the next page! see bigger pics here
CURVE MAGAZINE (April issue)
We also just got a 4-page feature in the current issue of Curve Magazine! This is huge and writer Rachel Shatto wrote a fabulous piece summarizing very lengthy interview answers that I sent her and featured a ton of photos!! I never thought I'd ever be in this magazine, it was such a huge surprise and honor to get covered!
In the photo world, I've been nominated as Best Pet Photographer in the Bay Area A-List. If you've read this far down, please take a moment to show your support for Project Dog and vote for me! As of yesterday, I was in 1st place, but I need all the help I can get to snag the win!! Voting ends in 4 days!
BOOKS
Please let me know if you are still waiting on books - my sincere apologies for anyone who is still waiting. I sent out all of the books that I had left in Feb (and have recently sent out all of my own personal stash), and have been waiting weeks now to receive the rest of my initial order from the printer. The books are due to finally arrive this week, and I will send out all remaining books ASAP.
Thank you again to everyone for your continued support and patience, I really appreciate it and hope everyone is enjoying their book.
Woof,
Kira

Update #19: Books are out!
Great news, the books have shipped!! I'm very sorry that they were not delivered as promised before Christmas - unfortunately the delivery was delayed and did not arrive to the warehouse until the afternoon of the 22nd, and I was out of town until after the new year -- so I spent the entire last week (and today and tomorrow), packing and shipping more than 400 books.
Many of you have already received your copy... if you haven't gotten it yet, it should arrive within the next few days! I have been working tirelessly to make sure that all of the orders (and the correct quantities) have been shipped, however due to the high volume of orders and multiple ordering channels, I may have missed a few -- if you have ordered more books than were shipped, my apologies in advance -- please email me at kira@nuena.com. Also, I'm still waiting on a few of your addresses, so please email me with your address so I can ship your book.
This entire project from concept to delivery has been a 1-person project (ME), so I truly appreciate your patience and understanding, as I know it has been frustrating to have to wait for your book.
If you have received a book, we want to see!! Take a photo of yourself (or your dog) with the Project DOG book and email it to kira@nuena.com so I can add it to our "IN THE WILD" gallery on the Project DOG Facebook page!! If you're not following us on FB, CLICK HERE to "like" us now! Here's a shot of Valentin the Borzoi with his book!
Thank you again to everyone who supported Project DOG throughout the past year and on Kickstarter! ...I will keep you posted on new developments!!

Update #18: Launch Party Success
We had our official launch party this past Saturday at the WAG Hotels in San Francisco. It was a total success and we had an AMAZING turnout!! There were more than 200 people attending as well as about 80 dogs (most of them stars from the book). The line for the book signing went out the door and we all had a blast!
Thank you everyone who came out to support Project DOG - many people braved the weekend traffic and came in from as far as 2+ hours away - and my "in-laws" came all the way down from Washington! It was really great to see everyone again and extra cool to see all of the dogs from the book (and people) meet and mingle!
An extra special thanks to all of our event sponsors: BARK Magazine, The San Francisco Bay Guardian, Red Dog Graphics, Aurora Catering, Mutt Lynch Winery, The San Francisco SPCA and WAG Hotels, THANK YOU for your support! I also want to give thanks and a special shoutout to our friends at Mijo and Bambi and Molly Mutt!
Here are some pics! If you attended the event and took photos and video, upload them to the Project DOG Launch Party group on Flickr so we can all see them! Or you can post them directly onto the Project DOG Facebook Page wall!
Goodie bags all ready go to!
Harley had a good time meeting everyone too, here he is sayin hi to Shady Lady the Norwegian Buhund.

ps. We were filmed by the Travel Channel Europe for a show.. hopefully they will upload it online once it airs!
Book Update: I was only shipped enough books for the launch event, the rest of the books will be shipping soon. I will keep you posted on the delivery schedule as I hear word...
Update #17: Happy Cyber-Monday! Enjoy 20% off before Dec 1st!
Happy Cyber Monday!! Don't forget you can save 20% on the hardcover and digital edition of Project DOG if you order before Dec. 1st... that's only a few days away, so stock up now for your holiday gifts, and share with family and friends!
Other updates...
- The book is still in production, everything is going smoothly, will keep you posted!
- The .epub version of the digital book is also still under way, I'm about half way through with the layout... whew, can't wait to be done! The digital edition has been doing very well, and I hope everyone who purchased it so far is enjoying it!
- The launch party is almost completely sold out - it will be an exclusive launch, mainly for Project DOG participants and the media, due to attendance restrictions at the event location (WAG Hotels). As much as I would love to pack 600+ people in there, there simply is not enough room (sorry)!! The event will feature a rooftop meet 'n greet, a 50-dog strut down a 16ft fashion runway with live readings from the book, and a cocktail hour!
- releasing the official post-production press release this week
That's about it, hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday!
