LIFE with Dogs, by
the editors of LIFE Books (Time, Inc., LIFE Books, 2009, $17.95, 96 pages, ages
12 and up)
The Best of LIFE!
Mesmerizing
The cover will draw you like a magnet!
Of course, the cover simply has to have an adorable photo of an adorable yellow lab! Labs and
Golden Retrievers seem to be today’s America’s Dogs and are seen everywhere –
in magazines, on greeting cards, on book covers. They must be selling!
LIFE with Dogs is
a small* compilation of the best of LIFE’s dog photos with accompanying quotes
from both the famous and the infamous that make this a ‘loverly’ little coffee
table book following on the heels of the popular LIFE with Mother and LIFE
with Father.
From Mark Twain to Andres Segovia and Churchill to Sheryl
Crow. What fun to share the pages, exclaiming, ‘Oh, I didn’t know this famous
person had a dog!’ or “So that’s what Errol Flynn’s looked like.”
Dogs laugh but they
laugh with their tails (Max Eastman).
From Chihuahuas to Great Danes to Riley the Golden Retriever
at 911.
If you are a serious dog person (never without a dog in your
life), you may recognize most of the photos and quotes and still find
favorites, or, if you are a newbie dog person on your first dog, you will find
treasures to read and photos to embed in your mind to bring up again and again.
LIFE can’t be beat!
