  Armed with backstage passes, mother-daughter photographers Vivian and Molly Russell traveled dog shows across the globe to capture the intimate photographs within Dog Show. This remarkable insider perspective gets to the heart of people's love affair with their dogs and our fascination with these shows, which celebrate this special bond. The authors have been showside and backstage at England's Crufts, Westminster in New York-where the prime examples of the pedigree breeds are blow-dried and tweaked to perfection-the European Dog Show in Paris, and Scruffts in Yorkshire, England, where breeding takes second place to personality.The carefully selected blend of full-color and black-and-white photographs within Dog Show highlight the tender relationships between people and dogs. It is often remarked that dogs and their owners resemble one another. Many of the photographs in this book bear witness to this curious yet touching phenomenon. A visual feast of character, eccentricity, humor, and charm, Dog Show is a must for any dog lover.
