Book Reviews of Dogtionary: Meaningful Portraits of Dogs

Book Review: Personality PLUS: The Photos; The Definitions; The Book
Summary: 5 Stars

Personality is the best word to describe "Dogtionary." Plus, it's simply beautiful.

The photographs, as art, are unique in style and perspective. The dogs, as characters, are as recognizable and varied as cousins at a family reunion. The definitions are a chuckle, a hoot, an insight, a knowing.

Even the book itself - lusciously printed on heavy cream paper, with a rich satin cover - has so much personality that you reach for it again and again. Everyone who's seen "Dogtionary" on my table has the same reaction. "That book is number one on my holiday list. I'm giving it to 'dog' people, to 'cat' people and to 'no pet' people too."

Summary of Dogtionary: Meaningful Portraits of Dogs

In the wise and winsome tradition of Viking Studio's popular Pug Shots, here is a humorous and affectionate photographic essay on "man's best friend"?with all his?or her?idiosyncrasies. In more than ninety images of forty- eight dogs, these delightful photographs of various breeds and personalities are alphabetized by each dog's name?from Amigo, alert and faithful, to Vinney of the innocent eyes and telltale dirt-covered coat. Juxtaposed are their dictionary-style "doggie definitions," captions as evocative, playful, and telling as the pictures they accompany, as the dogs they characterize. Ever wonder why dogs prefer people food to dog food? Chase a car yet cringe at a vacuum cleaner? Or hate a bath but love a mud puddle? For all dog lovers who will recognize their own pets among these charming canines, Dogtionary is the perfect holiday gift.
