WHITE DOG CAFE & PET PHOTOGRAPHER CAROL ARSCOTT SEEKING SUBMISSIONS FOR THE DOGS OF WHITE DOG CAFE BOOK TO BENEFIT ALPHA BRAVO CANINE

You can judge a book by its cover when the cover features an adorable pup!

White Dog Cafe and Pet Photographer Carol Arscott are seeking submissions for a book celebrating dogs, to benefit Alpha Bravo Canine, a 501(c)3 organization that donates service dogs to US veterans suffering from debilitating medical and psychological problems as a result of their active combat duty.

The Dogs of White Dog Cafe will feature 100 pups and their stories. For $250 guests can purchase a page that includes a write-up about their pup and a photo session with Arscott in her Media, PA studio. It also includes a copy of the book upon publication. Arscott will select a photo from the session to be included in the book and guests are welcome to purchase any additional photos. Submissions will be accepted through August or until sold out, and additional copies of the book will be available for purchase in late 2025 by pre-order. The proceeds from the session and the book will benefit Alpha Bravo Canine to fund the purchase and costs to raise service dogs.

Arscott and Alpha Bravo Canine Founder Jennifer Senechal and lead service dog Stryker will host meet and greet events at White Dog Cafe Wayne on Wednesday, April 16, 5:30 – 7 PM, the White Dog Cafe Chester Springs on Wednesday, April 23, 5:30- 7 PM and at the White Dog Cafe Glen Mills on Wednesday, April 30, 5:30-7 PM.  Pages/photos can also be purchased here https://www.fearlessrestaurants.com/shop.

“We are thrilled to partner with Carol and of course Alpha Bravo Canine which has been a benefactor of White Dog Cafe’s annual Dining Out for the Dogs for the past 7 years. We love the opportunity of a book that showcases the dogs of our guests while raising funds,” Fearless Restaurants Director of  Development Sydney Grims said.

Arscott is an award-winning, internationally recognized pet photographer who creates custom artwork for her clients while raising money for rescues and animal-based organizations. Arscott said she has never met a dog she couldn’t photograph. She has worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, abilities, temperaments, and breeds. Arscott has raised over $85,000 for rescue organizations through her photography projects. Arscott has published several other pet-centric books including The Heart of DVGRR, benefiting Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue, and her second coffee table book, The Heart of Providence and Francisvale, which was released in 2024. Her third book, benefiting The Pennsylvania SPCA, will be released in 2025.

“This is an incredible opportunity for us especially as we are celebrating our 10th anniversary,” Senechal said adding, “It is estimated that twenty percent of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or depression. Alpha Bravo Canine™ was founded to help the local community of veterans. Alpha Bravo Canine™ believes in helping these brave warriors, who fought for our country’s freedom, by giving back to them. A fully trained service dog from puppy to graduated dog can cost approximately $25,000-30,000 for up to the two-year time frame while under the organization’s care. Everything we do is – free of charge.”
