Review

"If your summer workload prevents you from high-tailing it to the nearest beach as often as you'd like, there could be no greater escape than this charming book of photographs captioned with quotable quotes." -- Julia Szabo, FetchDog.com

"Salty Dogs by Jean M. Fogle is packed with photographs of dogs living in the moment as they frolic on the beach. Fogle's engaging photos show a variety of breeds swimming, playing, romping, surfing and lounging in the water and on the sand. The pages are also sprinkled with humorous and inspiring quotations, making this book a delightful collection for any dog lover who also loves the beach." -- Dog Fancy

"This book isn’t about dogs who get too much salt in their diets, it’s a small photo book of dogs rollicking at the beach, where every man becomes a child and where dogs can’t let joy be unconfined. If the weather is warm where you are, just looking at the great photos will cool you off. There are big dogs and little dogs, lots of wet dogs, and even a surfing dog." -- Steve Dale's Pet World

"A gorgeous book of canine beach bums caught in the fun-filled moment. A variety of breeds and personalities are represented, from German Shepherds to Golden Retrievers to mutts, cavorting, resting and sometimes posing. The photos are lovingly captioned with quotes -- happy, humorous, haunting. The perfect gift-book for any dog lover." --Amy Shojai, "P'Etiquette," The Herald Democrat

"This book of color photographs of dogs taken at the beach by Jean M. Fogle is absolutely wonderful! Paired with appropriate quotations ranging from 'All animals except man know that the ultimate in life is to enjoy it' (Samuel Butler) to 'Happiness depends on ourselves' (Aristotle), the book joyfully celebrates the true meaning of a fun day the beach: sun, sand, water, tide, toys and sticks floating by. It reminds us all that sometimes, no matter what else is going on, if you live full in the present sometimes life really is a day at the beach. This book is an excellent gift for any dog and beach lover." -- Phyllis DeGioia, DWAA Newsletter Editor

From the Inside Flap

I think we are drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we weren't certain we knew better.
—George Bird Evans

Salty Dogs is a breath of fresh air. You won't be able to look through these fun-filled pages without smiling. Dogs live in the moment, and renowned dog photographer Jean M. Fogle captures those moments of sheer exuberance as carefree canines frolic and rollick on the beach. Engaging photos show dogs swimming, playing, romping, surfing, and lounging in the water and on the sand. Featuring dogs of varying pedigrees and personalities, includ-ing German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, mutts, and the photographer's own beloved Jack Russell Terrier, this book captures and preserves utter, unadulterated canine bliss and spontaneity. The pages are sprinkled with humorous, poignant, and inspiring thoughts that will warm your heart. Like the moments it captures, this photo collection is pure joy.

This is a great book for everyone who loves dogs and loves the beach. The photos in this book are fabulous and the quotes put with each picture are just right and a slight reminder to us all what life is really about. I gave this as a gift to several Dog People and they loved it. We should all be lucky enough to have a salty dog in our life. So If you enjoy watching dogs romping on the beach, buy the book, it's well worth the cost of admission!
