Everett dog’s professional photo makes a hometown cover

That’s a beautiful dog, and a gorgeous woman, on the cover of the Everett Parks and Recreation Spring Guide.
We found the dog, but not the woman.
Raili and Mike Calvert of Everett had their dog, Luna, professionally photographed about a year and a half ago in Seattle.
A friend of a photographer thought Luna would make a great subject. During the shoot, Luna was photographed with models.
The results were available for generic advertising.
“It was very surprising for us to see one of her photos on the cover of the Everett Parks and Rec guide,” Raili Calvert says. “I e-mailed the parks to let them know that the dog on the cover was an Everett dog. These photos could be used anywhere and we might not ever know, but to have one show up in our hometown was the best part.”
Luna has another tie to the parks department.
That’s where she took obedience classes, which certainly worked.
