"What does happiness mean to dogs?" Any pet owner must have asked this question at least once, which demonstrates that there are many people who give serious thought to the best way to live with pets, who have a shorter lifespan than us humans. Author Kwon, In-yeong of <Trip Doggy> is one such person. She constantly asked herself this question and came to the conclusion that the best way is to provide our pets with as diverse experiences as possible. And she actually did so. Instead of being tied down, Pepper runs freely, sniffing the grass and the wind. Pepper goes to new places and hangs out with unfamiliar people. These are simple activities, but they can’t happen without the owner’s efforts. The trip to Europe with Pepper was along the same line with such efforts. <Trip Doggy> is no ordinary travel essay. It describes different sites that the author visited, and goes through the preparation process in great detail, which is in fact the hardest part of traveling with a pet. Because the author underwent all the troubles herself, the guide may seem simple and easy, but it covers all the must-know information. For those who want to go on a trip with their pet or are planning for one, this book will serve as the perfect guide. Like humans, animals also have the right to happiness because they have life. This is why we hope that humans and animals get to spend as much time together as possible, have a broad range of experiences together, and feel the deepest happiness together. Animals do not live as long as humans do, and they do not have enough time to play as much as they want. So the author and Pepper are getting ready for another trip. Our message to you: we hope more and more pets have the opportunity to leave a record of their joyful experiences. We are looking forward to finding out what their trips look like.

Kwon, In-yeong
Since I had first held a disposable camera in my chubby little hands as a baby, and since I had had “the first camera of my very own” as a middle school student, I had always filmed and recorded everything I liked around me. Given my consistent interest in photography, I ended up majoring in Photography at the Seoul Institute of the Arts. It was the most natural thing for me to record my dogs, who have been by my side ever since I was born. This influenced my current job, which I started in 2013—animal portrait photography at the Thank You Studio. No words can express how meaningful and rewarding it is to take photos of somebody’s precious hairy friends, family members, brothers and sisters. When I heard that my clients liked my photos because they could feel the love in them, I promised myself I would make sure to capture love in my photos so that people could feel it just by looking at them. Of course, my hairy friend Pepper, who has always been by my side, is and will continue to be my source of inspiration and the most perfect model. I would like to introduce the valuable memories that I had made with my friend. I hope the time Pepper and I spent in Europe encourages readers who want to have a special experience with their hairy friends.
