Dogs Are Special: A Tribute to Our Best Friends

A dog’s love is unconditional. From the moment your dog rouses you to take him for a walk until he curls up warm and contented at the foot of your bed at night, dogs bring joy and contentment into our harried lives. They are indeed our best friends.
DOGS ARE SPECIAL is a tribute to these amazing animals. Full-color photographs paired with quotes from everyone from Ann Landers to Johnny Depp, from St. Francis of Assissi to Franz Kafka, celebrate the role of our beloved pets in our lives. Dogs of many breeds; puppies and adults; big and small, all gambol across these pages in charming and whimsical photographs.
This is a celebration of all the things we love about our friendliest, most loyal companions, who knock us over with delight when we come home, run circles around us when they play, and curl up warm on our laps when they are tired, making us feel as special as they are.

I love dogs. They live in the moment and don’t care about anything except affection and food. They’re loyal and happy. Humans are just too…complicated.
