Meditations for Dogs: Pithy Poochie Ponderings - Tapa dura

Photographer Anne Herman captures adorable canines during the moments we appreciate them most: when they're just being themselves. Black-and-white duotone photographs are paired whimsically with quotations by such diverse names as Confucius, Mahatma Gandhi, Fran Lebowitz, and Emo Philips. Our ability to relate to each image is poignantly expressed by some of our fellow humans in articulate snippets of wisdom and observation. We can relate to each, making this book just one more way we learn from our favorite four-legged companions.

Anne Herman is a commercial and fine-art photographer who lives near North Bend, Wash. Her work has been exhibited in galleries throughout the Pacific Northwest. Watershed
