Dog Only Knows
From the artist Alison Friend, a collection of 125 unconventional dogs posing for traditional oil portraits
The next must-have gift book for every dog lover from artist and Instagram sensation Alison Friend, featuring over 125 of her irresistible dog portraits—each uniquely mischievous, sweet, poignant, and funny.
Welcome to Alison Friend's world of dogs. Meet Dave, the Boston terrier who loves gummy bears. Pip, the Border Collie who'd rather solve her Rubik's Cube than herd sheep. Debbie, a Chihuahua sipping a raspberry mojito. Douglas, master etch-a-sketch artist. And Super Dog, dressed in a mask and cape, whose superpower is hearing snacks being opened from a mile away.
With dogs of every personality, every breed, and every interest, and with witty captions accompanying each portrait, Dog Only Knows is a collection full of humour and charm on every page.
