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 humor and charm on every page.
Alison Friend's warm and whimsical artwork has appeared in both picture books and fiction. She studied Fine Art at university, and worked as a stonemason and greetings card illustrator before turning her hand to children's book illustration. Alison lives in the beautiful English Lake District with her husband Mike, her son Cal and Border Collie, Blue. In her spare time she enjoys drawing people's dogs, walking Blue in the fells, and falling asleep during really good films.
