First we had dogs underwater, then dogs shaking off water...and now dogs soaking up the exhilarating no-holds-barred pleasure of a ride in a car. Photographer Lara Jo Regan began her pet project as a calendar but the response was overwhelming & absolute: her photographs of the cruising canines, taken from incredible perspectives, with tongues hanging & ears flapping, became a global Internet sensation. The energy of the photographs is impressive & visceral. In order to get these shots, Regan built a special light, which jutted out over the roof of the car, a harness that allowed her to lean out of the window & various other contraptions to make the images come to life. Dogs In Cars will have the reader laughing out loud. ...

In Bonzo`s War, Clare Campbell told the fascinating story of what it was like for Britain`s pets when the world was at war. This time, she follows the incredible journey of the dogs who conscripted to fight for their country, with some even returning with medals for their bravery. During the most dangerous days of the Second World War, the British government set out to recruit an army of canines
- a ` Guard Dog Unit`. This experimental team of brave hounds would later use their incredible sense of smell to sniff out the anti-personnel mines that barred the way to reclaiming Europe. Dog owners countrywide shed tears as they bid farewell to their beloved ` Brian`, ` Rex`, or ` Molly` & packed them off to the War Dogs Training School to learn the skills they`d need to `do their bit for Britain` on the very frontiers of the Third Reich. The soldiers waiting out in the field to greet their canine counterparts were under strict instructions: do not get too attached to your new four-legged companion. That bit proved disastrously impossible. Based on original documents, first-hand accounts & interviews, Dogs of Courage tells a story of human determination, heartbreak & uncompromising canine courage that has never been told before.
