"A collection of portraits and stories that capture dogs of a certain age in all their patchy, scruffy, jowly, and devoted glory - a homage to man's best friend, based on the international photography project. Thes dogs are well worn, well loved, and well on in years. Photographer and dog lover Pete Thorne began taking photos of elderly dogs. In their aged, imperfect faces, he saw a depth of life, joy, and wisdom missing from more youthful subjects. He gathered these rich and powerful portraits into a web series he called "Old Faithful." Thousands of people around the globe reached out to Thorne with their heartwarming stories of their own faithful companions. The photos triggered a wide variety of emotions, eliciting smiles and tears, and unleashing a flood of anecdotes and memories. Based on his web series, this book features photographs that bring these dogs vividly into focus, accompanied by poignant descriptive sketches that capture the spirit and personality of each, illuminate his life and experiences, and celebrate the shared relationship with a beloved human companion, demonstrating that aging can be beautiful"--Provided by publisher.
