If Only You Knew How Much I Smell You by Valerie Shaff
For those who have looked into a dog's eyes and wondered what he's trying to express, answers are offered in this book of more than 50 doggy countenances evoking their innermost thoughts. The verses - written from the dog's point of view - offer the meaning of the quizzical expressions.
Man's best friend, but what exactly goes through a dog's mind when he looks at us? Photographer Valerie Shaff and American humourist Roy Blount Jrhave joined forces to produce a book every dog lover should have. From the pertinent to the poignant, the farcical to the fancy, terriers, hounds and everything in-between are impeccably captured on film and in word. In play or portrait, Shaff's snapshots capture the marvellous range of looks that can cross our canine friend's faces while Blount succinctly encapsulates the dogs mind from simple two liners to longer verse. A must for all dog fans, with humorous and in some cases hilarious slants on their emotions as seen by humans. And anyway, who can resist that longing look emanating from the book jacket? - Lucy Watson
