From Sparta to Stalingrad, the dogs of war, cleanup, guard duty, and companionship have been at our side; their loyalty knows no bounds, whether they are beloved pets or guardians of riot police or unsavoury fight fans. From companion to full-fledged member of the tribe, the dog has irrevocably moved into our homes, hearts and minds to such an extent that the boundaries between \"owner\" and \"pet\" have dissolved. The historical and contemporary photographs of \u003ci\u003eTo the Dogs\u003c\/i\u003e explore this human-canine connection in ways that are alternately surprising, endearing, disturbing, and beautiful. The images range from William Wegman, Larry Towell and Eadweard Muybridge to depictions of local dog shows, a Moscow circus, a dogfight in Sarajevo, and a dog hotel in Japan. A major essay by the poet Peter Culley explores the international citizenry of dogs, and why they can tell us more about ourselves and our culture than we care to admit. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo the Dogs\u003c\/i\u003e is published in hardcover and features 150 full-page photographs, including fifty in colour.
