"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.'"

"Design Goes to the Dogs--in the Best Possible Way! Ford's lovely images in this Rizzoli volume have a classical simplicity to them, all the dogs posed like supermodels, some with wind in their fur, against plain backgrounds. Ford is a kind of Richard Avedon of dog art, in most cases avoiding the arty whimsy of William Wegman in favor of a more noble take that looks into the subject's eyes for understanding; it wouldn't be surprising if the dogs themselves had commissioned these flattering portraits."
