“Photographer Randal Ford has done it again. Good Dog: A Collection of Portraits is a humorous, silly, and heartwarming compendium of snapshots of man’s best friend. Ford, one of the most prolific animal photographers out there and highly admired for his stunning book Animal Kingdom—which features animal portraits taken in-studio—is back with a book worthy of much love. With 150 dog portraits spanning all breeds…there is no end to the joy emanating from these pages. An engaging foreword by W. Bruce Cameron, a much-loved newspaper columnist and New York Times best-selling author of the A Dog’s Purpose series, offers an unyielding stamp of approval. As he says ‘What Randal Ford can do with his lens is let dogs communicate their stories of love and loyalty, of dedication and devotion. If there is a creature more joyous than a dog, I don’t know what it is. And in this miracle of a book, all the mischief and happiness and love and fun come through the dogs’ eyes and straight as us.’ We’d have to agree. The joy a furry companion infuses into any life is unarguable, but with Good Dog, Ford has offered a new way to enjoy the comfort dogs bring. The book also serves as a fantastic stocking stuffer or holiday gift for new, constant, and soon-to-be ‘pawrents.’”

Flip the pages for studio shots of four-legged character studies like bearded Ceelo, pictured above, Enzo—a rare black-splotched Golden—and adorable bi-color eyed Buckley. Photos are accompanied by Randal's beautiful prose about what made each canine captivating from behind the lens. Who's a good cover boy?" — DALLAS TIDBITS
