From funny dogs to heroic dogs; from cool mutts to dogs in love; from dogs in the city to dogs in Hollywood, Suarès’s tributes to dogs of every kind have been adored by all. The Big Book of Dogs is a compendium featuring the best from Suarès’s series of dog books. It’s a 384-page tome with more than 230 images (printed in duotone) taken by a wide range of dog-loving photographers, including John Drysdale, Mary Bloom, Lizzie Himmel, Tony Mendoza, Elliot Erwitt, Thomas Wester, Walter Chandoha, and Robin Schwartz. Accompanying the images are excerpts—from such diverse writers as Rudyard Kipling and Sigmund Freud; personal stories and anecdotes from dog owners and others; and whimsical dog drawings by J.C. himself.
