This lively picture book invites young readers to go on a dog walk. The playful, expressive photographs show all kinds of dogs-shaggy, waggy, tailless, hairless; hunting dogs, digging dogs, playing dogs. The pictures and the spirited verse reveal the personalities of thirty different breeds, both the familiar and the unusual-from the gigantic Great Dane to the tiny Yorkshire Terrier, the furry Old English Sheepdog and wrinkly Shar-Pei. Dog lovers will enjoy spotting their favorites and being surprised by the unfamiliar. And for anyone trying to choose a purebred or mixed dog as a pet, an author's note offers sound advice. Index of breeds.
