Book description
Dog Only Knows: The Dog Portraits of Alison Friend - A Celebration of Canine Character
If you've ever wanted a book that feels like stepping into a living, breathing dog park, "Dog Only Knows" is the answer. Author and painter Alison Friend brings her Instagram fame to life in a gift-book format that's as charming as it is artful. With more than 125 portraits, each dog is rendered with a playful edge that makes you feel as if they're looking straight at you - mischievous, funny, and full of personality.
Friend doesn't just paint dogs; she captures their souls. Midge, the Rubik's-Cube solver, Alan in his "million-dollar" harness, Lola with her sniffer-first motto, and Chupa Chops who somehow unwrapped a lollipop - every portrait tells a story without words. The humor is gentle yet sharp: Clive's single-minded focus on biscuits, squirrel chases, and ball fetches; Debbie's cocktail night antics; Little Louis, the chain-smoking existentialist who muses over the canine condition while sipping espresso.
What sets this book apart is Friend's technique. She blends oil paint with a touch of Old Master skill, giving each piece depth and realism that feels almost cinematic. The expressive eyes, Mona Lisa smiles, and whimsical habits make the dogs look both human-like and distinctly dog-like - a sweet paradox that will have you laughing and nodding in recognition.
"Dog Only Knows" is more than a collection; it's an invitation to explore the rich tapestry of canine life through art. Whether you're a seasoned dog lover or looking for a delightful gift, this book offers something truly special: a window into the hearts of our four-legged friends, painted with empathy, imagination, and just the right amount of mischief.
