Million Dog Mosaic – add your pup

If you're into helping unwanted dogs find a home AND having fun doing it, this is for you.

Pedigree's Million Dog Mosaic is worth the visit just to see the tens of thousands of dog photos already uploaded. I plan on uploading my pair of pooches via my mobile phone, so I won't have an ID number to find their mugs in the mosaic for another couple of days. Pedigree is donating $1 to the Pedigree Adoption Drive for each photo uploaded.

At last count, there were nearly 44,000 dog pictures in the mosaic. Send yours soon, as you could be the millionth!
