Levin Kim - Hound for the Holidays: a Bark and Smile Book

The holidays (like dogs) are all about sharing, unconditional love, and enjoying the moment, but sometimes, with the hubbub of shopping, open houses, family gatherings, and parties, its easy to lose your holiday spirit. So who better to put the happy back in your holidays than a cast of dogs celebrating the season? Whether they are two pooches window-shopping, an urbane Jack Russell on a trip to the big city, or a German Shepherd catching snowflakes on his tongue, the dogs in these charming photos all deliver the message Enjoy! Pet portrait artist Kim Levins striking and expressive photos pair perfectly with John ONeills warm and upbeat words to make a great holiday treat.
