Klappentext In what other book of portraiture will you find a model bio that includes "chases rats and pigeons" followed by "loves filet mignon and crime br{lie"? Welcome to the dog-centric world of photographer Kim Levin. Nearly a decade ago! Levin began shooting photos of dogs (and occasionally cats) in and around Central Park. What began as a dog-loving photographer's hobby has blossomed into a successful career as a pet portrait artist nonpareil. With nine books of dog photos to her credit and a booming portrait business!

Each dog's mini-portfolio is accompanied by its stats (age! breed! and home) and a short but revealing "about the model" statement. About Oliver! a 2-year-old English bulldog! we learn of a Beanie Baby obsession. Simone! a 7-year-old poodle! is described as "airhead by day and tramp by night!" and Max! a 12-year-old border collie! "enjoys butt rubs"-but! then! who doesn't? This hard-to-resist book is sure to elicit the same two-part response from all dog lovers: 1) I need this on my coffee table! and 2) My dog should be in the sequel.
