What Dogs Do

What do dogs do? The dogs Sharon Beals has photographed do it all -- defend, love, trust, worry, hunt, laugh, and, above all, charm. With the genuine care and affection of a true dog lover, Beals has captured all the cleverness, devotion, and individuality of 30 endearing hounds of many ages and breeds in photographs both sympathetic and satirical. From the stub-tailed pup investigating a deep hole in the ground to the industrious black mutt escaping under a fence, the images in this irresistible portfolio will change the way dog owners and animal lovers look at their favorite canines.

Sharon Beals is the author of What Dogs Do. A commercial photographer, she lives in San Francisco.
