Surprising answers to the question: What if your dog were human?
83 dogs and a panoply of human characters a delightful treat for all dog lovers
What dog owner hasn’t done this? You anthropomorphize your four-legged friend, put thoughts and feelings into his or her head that he or she almost certainly doesn’t have, and basically turn your pet into a four-legged person. That is exactly how photographer Sandra Müller feels about her dog Maja who inspired Dog People the book that provides hilarious and creative photographic answers to the question: What kind of person would this dog be? Whether it’s Great Dane Holly as a couch potato or Gismo riding a Harley, these images and more make up the unforgettable and endearing collection of portraits of man’s best friend in Dog People.
No, this book is not meant to be a fashion show for dogs and dog owners. This book is simply a thought experiment: what kind of person would my dog be? And let’s be honest: who hasn’t given his or her dog a lengthy explanation which the dog seems to listen to raptly but surely doesn’t understand every word of? Yes, yes, I know YOUR dog understands every word! So does mine! (Sandra Müller, photographer/author of Dog People)
The book is a colorful parade of dogs, from Giant Schnauzers to Pugs, from registered purebreds to street mutts. There is also a humorous description of each dog explaining how the outfit was chosen to make the particular animal a Dog Man or Dog Lady. For example, take Gisbert, a Pug who would surely be a doctor if he were human as he loves his vet so much that all you have to do is say Dr. Uwe and he pricks his ears as much as any Pug can prick his ears, at least.
