Hey there! We are @Dogs_of_Vilnius – a project by Gabija Kavaliauskaite and Karolis Jonusas – a couple running street photography blog of dogs. Every day we explore streets of Vilnius, the capital city of Lithuania, with an aim to bring you a one-to-one with the most adorable dogs we meet. As a country obsessed with canines, Lithuania has 1 dog for 3.9 humans ratio which translates to approximately 730 000 doggos in a small Baltic nation of just 3 million.

We began this photo series as a way of stepping further from our usual approach when encountering some passerby's cute dog, normally just asking to pet it and then bid our farewell. However, now we don't settle until there are at least a few dozen dog photos...Rather often it takes more than just a treat to attract the attention of a doggo: some are more interested in toys, some require commands from the dog owner (unless it's a Husky or a Labrador, both breeds appearing to be designed for interesting photos).

Having recently visited a major animal shelter “Lese” we plan on bringing the spotlight social media provides us with to other less fortunate four-legged friends and their temporary (often – permanent) homes. Join our quest to spread at least some of that unconditional love dogs offer by finding us both on Instagram and on Facebook as @Dogs_of_Vilnius.

    Shibas are prone to suffer glaucoma which can cause blindness. Walking them with a collar increases intraocular pressure which increases the chance of suffering glaucoma.
