Men & Dogs

The design is outstanding, the books look fabulous (thanks to co-author Peter Dyer’s design genius), but there’s real substance. You can just look at the photos, but there’s a lot to read too … I couldn’t put them down! – Clare Horton-Bussey * Dogs Today * The real name of Neil Young’s dog is Elvis, but he is called king by everyone - not least because of the royal treatment he receives … This is just one of the many stories and stunning images in two companion volumes, Men & Dogs and Women & Dogs, which take a pictorial look at our relationship with our proverbial best friends. The photographs have been chosen carefully chosen to be more than just snaps - each one has something to say about the psychological connection between the sitters … and there are great accompanying anecdotes. – Alkarim Jivani * Time Out *
