Dog People

What dog owner hasnt done this? You anthropomorphize your four-legged friend, put thoughts and feelings into his or her head that he or she almost certainly doesnt have, and basically turn your pet into a four-legged person. That is exactly how photographer Sandra Muller feels about her dog Maja-who inspired Dog People-the book that provides hilarious and creative photographic answers to the question: What kind of person would this dog be? Whether its Great Dane Holly as a couch potato or Gismo riding a Harley, these images and more make up the unforgettable and endearing collection of portraits of mans best friend in Dog People. No, this book is not meant to be a fashion show for dogs and dog owners. This book is simply a thought experiment: what kind of person would my dog be? And lets be honest: who hasnt given his or her dog a lengthy explanation which the dog seems to listen to raptly but surely doesnt understand every word of? Yes, yes, I know...YOUR dog understands every word! So does mine! (Sandra Muller, photographer/author of Dog People) The book is a colorful parade of dogs, from Giant Schnauzers to Pugs, from registered purebreds to street mutts. There is also a humorous description of each dog explaining how the outfit was chosen to make the particular animal a Dog Man or Dog Lady. For example, take Gisbert, a Pug who would surely be a doctor if he were human-as he loves his vet so much that all you have to do is say Dr. Uwe and he pricks his ears-as much as any Pug can prick his ears, at least. Dog People shows us 83 wonderful dog portraits - from a purebred Standard Schnauzer to a street mutt - and a panoply of human characters.
