Wrongly considered less attractive than purebred dogs, mutts - even though they do not participate in beauty contests or boast noble pedigrees - are a fascinating manifestation of the canine universe. Unique in appearance, they are capable of great outbursts of affection and heroism or, more simply, of gestures of daily domestic camaraderie. This book, dedicated entirely to 'fantasy dogs', showcases original images with a strong emotional impact realized by Fabio Petroni, a professional photographer specialising in portraiture and still life - as well as a great dog lover. Through his expert lens, and owing to the emotive quality of the subjects portrayed, the true essence of mongrels emerges with precision and sensitivity.
