Starring an adorable cast of canine characters, this irresistible dog book offers photographic tributes to some popular idioms, from "the dog days of summer" (with bulldog Camomile shaking off in a kiddy pool) to "working like a dog" (featuring three pooches posing with contractors' tools). Animal trainer and photographer Carli Davidson is a self-proclaimed "crazy animal lady" who lives by the credo that the key to happiness and longevity is to spend at least 15 minutes a day playing with a dog or cat. Here she treats us to portraits of 21 canine friends—some of them dogs she has fostered—with profiles of each one at the end.
