Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

100 new and classic images of popular Instagram celebrity Jimmy Choo the Bull TerrierOn Rafael Mantesso's thirtieth birthday, his wife left him. She took their cookware, their furniture, their photos, their decorations. She left Rafael alone in an empty all-white apartment. The only thing she didn't take was their bull terrier, whom she'd named after her favorite shoe designer: Jimmy Choo.With only Jimmy for company, Rafael found inspiration in his blank walls and his best friend and started snapping photos of Jimmy Choo as he trotted and cavorted around the house in glee. Then, when Jimmy collapsed in happy exhaustion next to the white wall, on a whim Rafael grabbed a marker and drew a new world around his ginger-eared pup. Suddenly, Rafael felt his long-dormant inspiration—for drawing, for art, for life—returning.The result? Hundreds of charming and cheeky images chronicling the owner and dog's relationship and adventures, including poses in a Star Wars stormtrooper helmet, passed out with liquor bottles, and as the shark in Jaws. Mantesso's Instagram feed quickly garnered fans from all over the world and caught the attention of major media outlets like Today, The Huffington Post, USA Today, and the Daily Mail, as well as Jimmy's namesake, the luxury shoe brand Jimmy Choo Ltd.Now, Mantesso presents a definitive selection of new and classic images of Jimmy and includes the backstory of how the two became such great collaborators. As heartwarming as it is hilarious, A Dog Named Jimmy will delight animal lovers everywhere.

A splendid collection of photos of the bull terrier that has captured social media's hearts.

Mantesso's creativity knows no bounds while imagining his best pal in different situations. The touching prologue also provides a glimpse into how when life might throw you a mentally challenging curveball, you can overcome it with unconditional love and humor. This is a book you will want to add to your collection, and also to have as a coffee table book for your company to browse through.

This book started as a popular series of photographs on Instagram. The photos are very good and the added illustrations are frequently amusing and clever. This is rather a "one-trick pony" idea and I would not expect the book to have a sequel, but this book is heartwarming, humorous, and fun.

This dog is SO adorable I can barely stand it!!! And his human rocks! BIG TIME. How cool is this? So creative. Hilarious. I fell madly in love with Jimmy through these photos. Too good. Honestly, buy it. You couldn't possibly be disappointed.

This book is a must have for any dog lover. The story written is one that shows the true meaning of friendship and trust. Thank you for sharing your story with us. The pictures are fantastic.

I follow their instagram account and love it so I HAD to purchase this book. The dog is adorable and the owner is super creative. Dog lovers will enjoy this book! You won't regret buying this adorable book, paws down!

I have laughed out loud may times to the pictures in this book. My wife and I are very involved in a bull terrier rescue in Florida, and these marvelous creatures make your life better and keep you laughing for days. This book makes you say "that's a bullie thing" over and over. Their personalities will shine through and this book really shine a light on how funny they are. you will enjoy this book many times over! Buy it for a bully lover or any dog lover and it will be the gift that keeps on giving.

I bought this as a gift for my husband who adores Bull Terriers and he loved it! The photographs are beautiful and really capture the essence of a Bully! You will not be disappointed with this purchase.

The sweetest tribute...from hurt, to healing, to hope. Jimmy's human shares the joy of finding the most amazing way to share his love of this beguiling creature...through simple drawings defining the human experience. I'm over-joyed.
