Join the 2025 Pomeranian Photo Book Project
Rei Publishing, operated by Acca Communications LLC and based in Minato, Tokyo, has launched a recruitment drive for models in its 2025 edition of the "Dog Breed Photo Book" project. This unique initiative invites dog owners to be part of a collaborative effort to create a special photo book that encapsulates the charm of Pomeranians along with 19 other breeds. The project aims to produce a reader-participation driven book that showcases the love pet owners have for their furry companions. Furthermore, an award will be held post-publication, where outstanding entries will win the chance to have a personalized photo book created solely for their dog.
The Purpose of the Project
Rei Publishing's "Everyone Creates Publishing Project" aims to establish a new form of publishing that involves pet owners actively. Focused initially on dogs, the project plans to expand its scope to include cats, small animals, birds, and exotic pets in future iterations. With the cooperation of pet owners and enthusiasts, the project seeks to express the appeal of beloved pets and share that love throughout Japan. By offering both printed and e-book versions of the photo book, the initiative hopes to highlight the unique charms of pets in various formats.

Dog Breed Photo Book Project
The call for Pomeranian participants is part of a broader initiative targeting popular dog breeds. A total of 50 dogs and their owners will be recruited per breed, with the project kickoff contingent upon reaching this number. Owners can feature multiple dogs of the same breed, and mixed-breed dogs that display the characteristics of the breed are also welcome.
Featured Breeds
The initial selection includes:
- - Shiba Inu (Mini Shiba)
- - Chihuahua
- - Pomeranian
- - Beagle
- - Husky
Supporting Your Favorite Dog: QR Code Voting
Each photo book will feature a specific QR code, allowing readers to access a dedicated page for their dog. This page will contain links to the dog's Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), online shop, blog, and YouTube, offering a comprehensive overview of the pet's digital presence.
Voting will be conducted based on QR code access counts, with results gathered six months post-release to determine award winners. The top five dogs will be featured in the next year's photo book, ensuring they receive additional recognition.
Special Award for the Top Dog
The dog that secures first place in the awards will enjoy the honor of having a dedicated photo book produced exclusively for them. This book will be available for sale nationwide on platforms like Amazon, ensuring widespread distribution and exposure.
Revenue Reinvestment for Owners
Both print and e-book formats will be sold, with the profits going back to the pet owners who contributed their stories and pictures.
