Photographer P.S. Davis has been taking photographs of dogs around her home of Greenville, Alabama, for many years. Her photographs chronicle the lives of dogs and their owners, from the poodles of a rich widow to the mutt of a homeless veteran. As a photographer, Davis is known for her tenderness and steely-eyed wit, her sense of the perfect and the absurd. Editor Roberta Gamble, Davis's friend and neighbor, has brought together a wide-ranging collection of quotations from great Southern writers, including William Faulkner, Lee Smith, Harry Cress, Bailey White, Larry Brown, Clyde Edgerton, Eudora Welty, Zora Neale Hurston, James Dickey, Anne Tyler, James Tate, Flannery O'Connor, Bobbie Ann Mason, and many others. This fond tribute by two dog-loving Southerners is the perfect gift for every dog lover.

From the Back Cover
Photographer P.S. Davis has been taking photographs of dogs around her home of Greenville, Alabama, for many years. With tenderness and flinty-eyed wit, a clear sense of the perfect and the absurd, Davis has documented a way of life. Coupled with quotations selected by editor Roberta Gamble, this book is an elegant meditation on what Southerners think of their dogs ad - not surprisingly - what they think of themselves.
