A special book about a special dog named Yo-Yo - by its owner David Douglas Duncan, one of the most famous retired war photographers in the world.

Parade Magazine

Many dog-lovers will find pleasure in a spectacularly illustrated book called Yo-Yo: Kidnapped in Provence by David Douglas Duncan, the renowned photo-journalist. Duncan's little Norwich terrier was abducted for ransom near Marseilles by a professional car thief. The affair drew considerable media attention in France, where Duncan is especially well known as Picasso's favorite photographer. This was possibly the best-photographed dog hunt in history; after 19 days Duncan got his pet back intact (and half a pound heavier!), leaving everyone happy, including even the nefarious dognapper. The pictures are endearing and the text is charming.
