Dogs Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Since the wolf first snuck into the caves of our ancestors to take warmth from the fire, dogs have been man’s constant companion. Dogs, multi-award-winning photographer Tim Flach’s stunning follow-up to the critically acclaimed Equus, delves deep into the psyche of this enduring bond with Canis familiaris to present an exquisite study of “man’s best friend.” From specimens on show at Crufts and Westminster to shelter dogs lovingly rescued by volunteers; from the grace and agility of racing greyhounds to adored domestic companions; from Afghan hounds to Hungarian komondors to Chinese crested, the images featured in Dogs promise to deliver one of the most appealing, popular, and exciting photographic tributes to dogs ever published. Praise for Dogs:"The dogs he captures in these pages are, by turns, soulful, expressive, and winsome-- and all of themare stunning." --Entertainment Weekly "This book will appeal to all ages. I know this because it was lying around our house on Thanksgiving Day and everyone wanted a look at it -- from college-age to senior citizen. They all oohed and aahed. If you're a dog lover, or even a dog liker, it's a keeper." --The Christian Science Monitor "Featuring profiles of dozens of canines, Dogs is a divine collection of images that spotlights the endearing characteristics of different pooches, elevating them to divine status. Whether it's a troubled-looking Bloodhound or a demure Dalmatian, Flach's subjects establish a direct connection with the viewer, dog-lover or otherwise." --Flavorwire.com

I'd seen some photos, but the book, the real McCoy, is something different: so sophisticated, so flawless yet so affectionate.
This is a wonderful book, and highly recommended for any dog lovers in your life. Photographer Tim Flach creates artistic portraits of representatives of different breeds in all their beauty and idiosyncracy. The book itself is handsomely produced and large format. Know someone who watches the Westminster Kennel Club dog show on TV every year? This would make a perfect gift for them.
If you love dogs this is a must have book!!!! It's beautiful!!!! Gorgeous photographs of dogs. Great coffee table book. This is my favorite book ever!!!!
Tim Flach's photography leaves me speechless. I can't wait for more books to be published. The captures in this book are stunning beautiful majestic and inspiring. As a photographer I am in awe of the body of work compiled in this beautifully bound (heavy) book and as a pet lover I am touched how he captures all creatures great and small. I gave a copy as a gift this year - so pleased with the quality.
This is a gorgeous book--I had to get it just because of the cover.But it's more serious than it appears--there are several photos that are *not* cute or charming, and although none of them is horrifying, I wouldn't want a young child to look at "Jaws," for example.
This is a great coffee table book. It has a wide variety of dogs, more than you would think and many different poses for each kind. They gave a description for the dogs and told about them. It was very informative. I was glad I purchased it. I had seen this book in Oprah magazine. I would buy it all over again.
The artistry in these pictures is something else, over and over again. Each breed is captured in a way that exemplifies its personality: a book by someone who loves (and knows) doggies! (and has a sense of humor, too.) We got this for a child, and while it will fuel her imagination and love of dogs for years and years, the rest of the extended family can't put it down either. It's like the animals speak to you from the pages, and you can look into their eyes and hear what they would say. Especially a few of them, it's like they're winking at you! This book is also beautiful to the hand, and the paper and printing - lovely in themselves - do justice to the contents.
Looking to buy a informative, illustrated guide to the world of dogs as a gift. This book is not much for providing a comprehensive look at dog breeds, character and care. The photography is wonderful! A beautiful coffee table book for Dog Lovers. Turned out to be a wonderful gift. I would recommend this book.
