Dogs

"The dogs he captures in these pages are, by turns, soulful, expressive, and winsome--and all of them are stunning." --Entertainment Weekly

Since the wolf first snuck into the caves of our ancestors to take warmth from the fire, dogs have been man's constant companion. Dogs, multi-award-winning photographer Tim Flach's stunning follow-up to the critically acclaimed Equus, delves deep into the psyche of this enduring bond with Canis familiaris to present an exquisite study of "man's best friend."

The images featured in Dogs promise to deliver one of the most appealing, popular, and exciting photographic tributes to dogs ever published. They include:

• Specimens on show at Crufts and Westminster
• Shelter dogs lovingly rescued by volunteers
• The grace and agility of racing greyhounds
• Adored domestic companions from Afghan hounds to Hungarian komondors
• And much more

This is the ultimate coffee table companion for any dog owner or dog lover, and the perfect gift for anyone whose best friend is man's best friend.

Praise for Dogs:
"This book will appeal to all ages. I know this because it was lying around our house on Thanksgiving Day and everyone wanted a look at it--from college-age to senior citizen. They all oohed and aahed. If you're a dog lover, or even a dog liker, it's a keeper." --The Christian Science Monitor

"Featuring profiles of dozens of canines, Dogs is a divine collection of images that spotlights the endearing characteristics of different pooches, elevating them to divine status. Whether it's a troubled-looking bloodhound or a demure dalmatian, Flach's subjects establish a direct connection with the viewer, dog-lover or otherwise." --Flavorwire.com
