LuLu and Maxie are sisters; two dogs whove become an artistic passion for photographer Nancy LeVine. For nearly a decade; shes chronicled their lives and; in the process; opened a window into the relationship between canines and their world and what dogs can teach us about ourselves. In A Dogs Book of Truths; LeVine pairs her stunning duotone images with the insightful words of poet Joseph Duemer. The results range from humorous to profound. As one dog looks purposefully into the camera: "Some dogs are comic geniuses precisely because they take the world so seriously." Another dog; alone on a subway train: "To lose a dogs trust is to fail the soul." When several dogs tussle over a stick: "A dog will run in circles or chase sticks endlessly not out of mindlessness but from energy and delight in her existence." Throughout the pages of A Dogs Book of Truths; LeVines photos resonate with clear glimpses at those unself-conscious moments that transcend superficiality and artifice. Dog lovers will relish this book for its honesty and verve; while photography lovers will find its images unparalleled takes on dogs at their most natural. Everyone else will find the philosophical union between dog and human a mostcompelling subject. A Dogs Book of Truths is a must-have volume for everyone interested in more fully exploring the mysteries of life.
