Few things in life are better for an animal lover than sifting through 4,000 pet photos.
Few things are worse than having to set aside the vast majority.
What you'll see in these pages are the photos that made us exclaim. There was the nobility and elegance of Aja, the Weimeraner owned by Christine Cataudella and Robert Hopkins, on the front cover. The intrigue of Zoey, Karen Engel's Dalmatian, blanketed out on the Badlands of the Dakotas. And the humor of Sharon Lottridge's dog Leverett, standing at the window, a cast on his leg and crutches tucked under his arms. Space limitations and newspaper reproduction issues held a great number of wonderful photos out.
