Underwater dog photographer's non-profit

Seth Casteel, the photographer of the fantastic "underwater dogs" photo series that went from viral sensation all the way to Good Morning America, says he's delighted that the attention has driven donations to his nonprofit, Second Chance Photos. The org's goal is to improve the photos of animals at shelters to increase adoption rates.

  Glad to see that those photos are getting some traction for a good cause. Good photography absolutely makes a difference to the adoptability of a dog and is a worthwhile donation of a skill that a lot of people may not recognize as something they can donate.

  I often provide photos for the boxers that my parents foster and it definitely seems to make some difference. 

  While I’m at it, here’s a picture of the happiest dog on the planet, who is, of course, up for adoption.
