what dogs do the BEST!

This is a fabulous book!!! Love the pictures!! Each photo has a word that describes it like the cover is called "worry". Other pics include "wait", "ponder", and my favorite, "rescue". I couldn't stop laughing when I looked through it. It reminded me of my dog soo much. If you like dogs' doofy ways, you will also love this book!!

You'll laugh so hard your sides will ache!

I read this in a cat/dog specialty store while on vacation. I stood in the store laughing, then crying, because it made me miss my babies so much. It's a wonderful portrayal of dog's emotions and behavior through photographs. If you're a dog lover, this is a coffee-table must have!!

Heartwarming action portraits of Man's/Woman's Best Friend!

More than thirty heart warming glimpses of our 4 legged friends, from many important breeds, and others from the Mongrel and Mutt class grace the pages of this little Gem of a publication from Seattle born and raised diversified photographer, Sharon Beals.There are few written words here.... only, carefully selected single word descriptive captions grace the preceeding pages of portaiture. No time wasted....JUST PLENTY OF VISUAL PLEASURE WILL BRING THE VIEWER BACK, TIME AFTER TIME! The language, like the photographs is universally recognized and appreciated by all fortunate enough to see this book! The book is a Jewel along side other Dog Picture Publications, and with its miniscule price should find a way into every Dog Lover's library! Ordering a dozen copies for my dog loving friends!
