With captions by Katharina von der Leyen, who can write about dogs as few other people can, with humor that pokes a bit of fun, but is full of love and understanding for both dogs and people An homage to man’s best friend-and not just for dog lovers Dogs aren’t exactly shy when it comes to expressing their feelings. They do everything we humans are afraid to: dogs are ecstatic and boisterous, tactless, openly enthusiastic, take delight in rolling in disgusting things, sleep when they’re tired, and don’t care if you snore. Dogs teach us that joy is a way of life and that it does not depend on what happens each day; they always assume something fabulous is going to happen today. This book shows dogs as they truly are-bursting with happiness, tired after a hard play session, and scuffling with friends. It shows our faithful companions as exuberant puppies and it shows them getting slower, older, and wiser, with a gaze that will break your heart.
