From an opera-loving Labrador to a tooting bulldog, a chronicle of the character and personality of everyday dogs from a National Geographic photographer.
 
Discover the stunning collection of photographs that shows the majesty, playfulness, and joy that is man’s best friend: As a National Geographic photographer, taking pictures of lions, tigers, and bears was a regular day’s work for Vincent Musi, but in 2017 he gave himself a new challenge: dogs. Using the same lighting and photographic techniques he uses for his National Geographic photography, Musi spent a year shooting portraits of dogs and compiling them into a book complete with all of the tail wags, wet noses, and dogs of all shapes and sizes.
 
With delightful and informative bios displayed next to each portrait, The Year of the Dogs will have you entertained and doggedly coming back for more.
 
“This gorgeous tribute to man’s best friend is the perfect gift for the dog-lover in your life—or anyone who needs to be convinced that dogs have just as much personality as humans.” —The Pioneer Woman
 
“You’ve probably seen work by Vincent Musi before. He’s a regular National Geographic photographer and his work has covered topics like volcanoes, illegal immigration, global warming, hurricanes and the like. His latest book, though, is quite different in subject matter. It’s a book about dogs—your average pet pooch—and it’s fabulous . . . Paging through the book is a delight.” —Photo District News
 
“For the dog lover who also loves photography, you can’t go wrong with this coffee table book from photographer Vincent J. Musi.” —InStyle (Holiday Gift Pick)

      Starred review from November 1, 2019

      Of the many coffee-table books featuring striking photography of dogs, this new title by noted National Geographic photographer Musi stands out as unusually beautiful. Musi, like most professional photographers, traveled extensively for his work--but when his child turned 16, he decided to stay close to home and open a local studio dedicated to photographing dogs. What emerged is this exquisite quasi-photo-biography featuring everyday dogs, set against dark backgrounds and accompanied by a few paragraphs describing the unique characteristics of each dog. "I have never water-skied, but I have been dragged in similar fashion across one hundred yards or so of concrete floor in our warehouse by a 135-pound Great Dane that resembles Benedict Cumberbatch"; "If unfurled with caution and stretched with a sense of purpose, Clyde's tongue easily spans the length of a time zone." The droll text captivates the essence of each dog, and adds humor or pathos. VERDICT Essential for dog lovers and photography fans, this stunning and charming book is guaranteed to circulate constantly in public library collections.--Susan Riley, Mamaroneck P.L., NY
