I bought this book for my wife, a Dachshund lover, who already has "Lump: The Dog Who Ate A Picasso" by the same author. I presumed that "A Dachshund's Odyssey" would be a follow-up, but it is not; apart from the slightly different dust jackets, these two books are IDENTICAL. And Amazon have the nerve to be offering the two together at a special price!
If you don't already have either of these books and you like Daxies or are interested in Picasso, then it probably rates three stars. If you already have one of these titles, for goodness sake don't buy the other.

Artist and Dog
14 July 2006
Format:Hardcover
This book presents a charming side of Picasso, demonstrating his affection for a sweet dachshund named Lump. The photos show Picasso's universal, gullible side in allowing himself to be wonderfully manipulated by a dog ! The images of them together are unforgettable.

100 pictures of a man and his dog
29 Oct 2006
Format:Hardcover
A delightful little book about a man, his dog and a reknown photographer.
Picasso is of course well known, so no more about him. Lump was a dachshund owned by the photographer who descided for reasons all his own that he was Picasso's dog and that he was to live at Picasso's house. Duncan is a reknowned photographer who normally specialized in combat photography but who proves here that his eye for a picture isn't restricted to the war zone.
The book is about a hundred pictures of Picasso and Lump, Picasso painting pictures of Lump, pictures painted by Picasso of Lunp. Both Lump and Picasso left us in 1973, the pictures are all that remain. Yet they tell a story all their own. Delightful, Warm, and a side of Picallo not seen before.

Great book
14 Aug 2007
Format:Hardcover
Art is one of my passions, and until getting this book Picasso was just an inivative man to me with a weird style I didn't appreciate. This book changed my mind, especially after reading this part of the book,"Picasso's welcome of Lump into his family happened so fast Jacqueline was stunned--speechless. There had always been dogs around Picasso's studios and seen in some of his paintings but never in his arms--where Lump was now at home." It was really a touching book.
You must own this if you are a dachshund lover. And you really must own it if you are an art lover.
