WOOT WOOT! Almost at 500 fans on FaceBook!

Yes that’s right – In less than six months in operation AIP has almost climbed up to 500 fans on FaceBook. We admit that this is hardly Nike or Coke numbers here, but for a little outfit like ours we are very happy with this achievement and thank you to everyone that is a fan of AIP and follows all our adventures and photos here in Hong Kong.

As we n the 500 mark we have a lot of news and developments happening in the world of animalsinphotos – New products are being developed such as the DNA dog testing kits (see www.muttgenie.com ) and of course the long awaited dog guide to Hong Kong (see www.woofguides.com ) which is almost at the final stages of copy approval and sign off. Again, thank you to all the people that emailed tips, walks, recommendations and feedback – We really appreciate all the help and all the proceeds from the guide will as promised be going to animal welfare charities in HK such as HKDR, the SPCA and LAP.

Well for me its time to stop writing this blog, get to work at the day job and perhaps hassle those final 5 people to join our fan page. Look out for our brand spanking new newsletter which comes out this week! If you want to join us click here
