More than fifty photos capture the beauty and spirit of Greyhounds and Italian Greyhounds. Be they Iggies (Italian Greyhounds) or Greyts (Greyhounds), these elegant dogs have been the subjects of artists' gazes for more than two thousand years. Sleek and slim, they've got the looks and bearing of supermodels-yet all it takes is a lopsided grin, a poke of the nose, or a whimsical head tilt to make you realize they are playful clowns at heart. Greyhounds of all sizes bring gentle grace to their every habitat. Greyhounds Big and Small celebrates these affectionate and beautiful creatures with over fifty photographs that skillfully capture the essence of 'greyhounded-ness.'

The warm hearts, cold noses and funny scowls of French Bulldogs-as captured by a master photographer. With their prominent jowls and furrowed brows, French Bulldogs may look a little like Winston Churchill on occasion. But when a Frenchie raises his broad, sweet face for a kiss, you know you've never seen a more appealing sight. Frenchie lovers will quickly testify to the undying loyalty of this little dog with big bat ears and a most curious expression. With the wisdom of an old soul in his eyes-and his endearing, satisfied snore- this playful and sometimes stubborn little pooch has a big heart and a personality all his own. A clown always ready for tricks, the French Bulldog laughs with his whole body and is a big part of his human family. Frenchie Kisses showcases the spirit of this one-of-a-kind breed.
