5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book for serious dog-lovers., 23 Jul 1999

By A Customer

I've always had an affinity for dogs and the people who love them, which is probably why this book now occupies the premier spot on my coffee table. After reading the introduction by Larry Sheehan, in which he shares hilarious and endearing tales about his dog, Buster, I knew I'd found someone who truly understood what it means to live with and love dogs. Even bad ones. The book is a celebration of hardcore dog enthusiasm. It's fun to learn about other people's passion for various breeds. What's more, the pages are filled with pictures of beautiful dogs, beautiful homes, and beautiful places. I got tons of inspiration for decorating my home and incorporating my love of dogs into my life. This book would make a wonderful gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bow-wow-wow!, 17 Jun 1999

By A Customer

Even though I like dogs, I'm not obsessed. So I was surprised to find myself devouring this huge coffee-table book. It will certainly rivet any dog lover. Thoughtful, informative essays cover a wide range of topics--including shows, field trials, grooming, boutiques, collectibles, celebrity dog owners, etc. Author Laurence Sheehan siezes the reader's attention with his engaging (and often lighthearted) profiles of this motley collection of men and women whose lives, in one way or another, have been changed, or even defined, by their unique relationships with dogs. William Stites' photographs are mesmerizing. I can't seem to forget one image of a pair of solemn pointer pups cradled in the weatherworn hands of a veteran breeder--who also, Sheehan reveals, just happens to be a talented sculptor of the pointers he's made his vocation for the past sixty years. The last chapter, a lingering look at monuments and memorials to departed pets, is particularly affecting. I love this book and highly recommend it.
