They love to sniff things; dig; swim in water, be it salty or fresh; pull against their leashes; carry sticks; and in almost any situation, bark loudly and insistently - more often than not at something unseen or unheard by lowly humans. Elliott Erwitt - as luck would have it - loves to take photographs of dogs. He loves taking photographs of dogs sniffing things, dogs digging, dogs swimming in ponds or in the ocean, dogs carrying sticks, dogs barking at something, and, more often than not, dogs lying on their backs in the grass, belly up and grinning from ear to ear." "Elliott Erwitt is a man of consequence: statesmen, authors, icons, and film stars make up his portfolio; he's been a member and three-time president of Magnum Photos; he's made critically acclaimed films and has produced for television. But, for all the impressive names and important achievements, his career just keeps going to the dogs. After a few minutes in the company of Woof; it's easy to see why."--BOOK JACKET., From acclaimed photographer and famed lover of dogs Elliott Erwitt comes Woof , the most unintentionally persuasive advertisement for dog ownership there ever was.
