I picked up a book by erik kessels/marion blomeyer - "in almost every picture" - photographs of a beloved family dalmatian in all kinds of exotic places:
I should add to this. I've just looked at the book again. There is a wonderful quality to these pictures, a nostalgia from the age in which they were taken, the texture of the film, of course, but also that the dog becomes front and center of each picture, whether it be at a little Greek taverna, or wading in the shallows, or sitting under a flowering tree in the garden. My favorite is an image of the dog in its mistress's arms at the dining room table on what appears to be Christmas.
Apparently the author found these photos at a flea market in Spain, and decided to do them justice by publishing them. They're quite moving. And I say that not just because I'm besotted with my Dotsie.
