Product Description

Review
Man's best friend, but what exactly goes through a dog's mind when he looks at us? Photographer Valerie Shaff and American humourist Roy Blount Jr. have joined forces to produce a book every dog lover should have. From the pertinent to the poignant, the farcical to the fancy, terriers, hounds and everything in-between are impeccably captured on film and in word. In play or portrait, Shaff's snapshots capture the marvellous range of looks that can cross our canine friend's faces while Blount succinctly encapsulates the dogs mind from simple two liners to longer verse. A must for all dog fans, with humorous and in some cases hilarious slants on their emotions as seen by humans. And anyway, who can resist that longing look emanating from the book jacket? - Lucy Watson

Product Description
For those who have looked into a dog's eyes and wondered what he's trying to express, answers are offered in this book of more than 50 doggy countenances evoking their innermost thoughts. The verses - written from the dog's point of view - offer the meaning of the quizzical expressions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful!, 20 April 1999
By A Customer
This is a truly delightful book. The pictures are wonderful and expressive on their own. But, add the insightful little poems and the mix will have you alternating between joyfully laughing as you meet the Bulldog with his "Good Stick" and dabbing the corners of your eyes when you encounter the dog who mourns his boy who has gone to college. This is the type of book you end up buying 10 copies of, because once you read it you will have to buy copies as gifts for all your friends, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars It absolutely made my heart smile from ear to ear!, 3 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I picked up this book in a local bookstore and read it cover to cover without realizing it. I was so absorbed in the beauty of the photos as well as enjoying the word association of each expression. I lost two dogs to old age(they were both 16 years old) in just the last year and this book brought me great joy. The memories of my "babies" flooded back and this little book brought tears to my eyes. Anyone who has ever truly loved a dog will enjoy this book. I'm buying it and keeping it always.

5.0 out of 5 stars For ALL dog lovers, 17 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This book is adorable. Your heart melts as you read it. The photography is excellent and the captions really match the photos. This is an excellent coffee table book, one that you can look at over and over again.
