Who hasn't looked into a dog's eyes and wondered what thoughts he is trying to express? This collection teams up dog portraits by Valerie Shaff with verse by humorist Roy Blount Jr to give an original and humorous portrayal of what dogs really think.

Who hasn't looked into a dog's eyes and wondered what thoughts he is trying to express? The answers are in this whimsical book of more than 50 doggy countenances evoking their innermost thoughts. Roy Blount's verses - written from the dog's point of view - give the meaning of the quizzical expressions and penetrating looks that Valerie Shaff's camera catches. These dogs articulate their most ardent wishes, their true opinions of their owners and their particularly canine expressions of love. From adorable Dalmatian pups to mournful hounds to soulful setters, each dog describes the befuddles, heartbreak and the simple joys of dog life: a good stick, forbidden chicken bones, fetching, barking and, of course, sniffing. Until dogs learn to talk, this may be the best way to remember that the "inner dog" is probably a lot like the outer one.

VALERIE SHAFF has gained recent renown for her commissioned dog portraits. Her work has appeared in THE NEW YORKER, HOUSE & GARDEN and MARTHA STEWART LIVING. She has also done commercial work for Ralph Lauren, Atlantic Records and Gap. ROY BLOUNT JR. is the author of 2 books and contributes to numerous magazines.
