The Human Behind the Mission

Hi, I'm Megan. I'm going to pet every dog.

I'm a veterinarian from Ohio, a lifelong dog person, and a frequent traveler. Wherever I go, I find the dogs. I befriend them, photograph them, and remember them — every single one.

A few years ago, a stray dog stayed beside me over a mountain in Peru when I was too sick to be sure I'd make it. I never saw him again. I think about him all the time. Pet Every Dog exists because of him — and because I know every dog person has a story like that.

The mission is impossible. That's exactly why it's worth attempting.
