There is no luckier dog than one that is frolicking in the Colorado High Country. Whether skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, mountain biking, on the river, or on a lofty summit, dogs in the Colorado mountains are the happiest creatures on the planet. Colorado Mountain Dogs captures the joy and rapture of canines and their human companions as they frolic on trails, in camp and in creeks, from the San Juans to the Front Range, from Steamboat Springs along the Continental Divide to the Sawatch and Sangre de Cristos. Whether you are a visitor or a longtime resident, Colorado Mountain Dogs gives you a dog's-eye view of the backcountry, the ski slopes, and the resort towns of America's most-altitudinous state. With more than 150 photographs and sidebars on how to photograph dogs, reasons why people have dogs, and the naming of dogs.

Review:

"Ever people watched before? What about dog watching?! Engaging and heart warming photos and essays capture the spirit of the many different personalities and joys dogs bring to our lives. I like it!" --Nicholas Sveslosky, Editor FIDO Friendly Magazine

"A delightful celebration of the adventures we share with our four-legged friends. Any true mountain dog should be inspired." --Cindy Hirschfeld, author, Canine Colorado: Where to Go and What to Do With Your Dog

"A wonderful tribute to Colorado's delightfully irreverent, endlessly energetic, muddy pawed, and much-beloved canine companions." --Chris Meiering, Director of Marketing, Zuke's Natural Dog and Cat Treats, Durango, Colorado

"Fayhee, a reporter, editor, and author who lived in Colorado, provides photos of Colorado mountain dogs of different breeds from both professional and amateur photographers. These include dogs born and raised in the Colorado mountains, those that lived in the area, those photographed while visiting the state or traveling elsewhere, and others. Each dog is described by the owner, with some detailing the location and others describing the history, life, and other aspects of their dog. Included are dog-themed essays on topics like naming, taking good photos, and the reasons for ownership." --Eithne O'Leyne, Editor, ProtoView
