Dog Only Knows is a total delight for dog lovers of all ages, featuring more than 125 unforgettable dog portraits by acclaimed artist Alison Friend. Each one is funny, observant, a little bit odd, and completely full of personality — the kind you recognize instantly if you’ve ever lived with a dog.
There’s Midge, keeping her brain busy with a Rubik’s Cube. Alan, looking impossibly proud in his new harness. Lola, whose life motto is “People to see, bums to sniff.” Chupa Chops (how did he unwrap that lollipop?). Earnest Clive, who approaches everything — biscuit eating, squirrel chasing, ball fetching — with total focus. Debbie, who lives for cocktail night. And Little Louis, an espresso-drinking existentialist forever pondering the canine condition.
This book invites readers into Alison Friend’s wonderfully specific world, where dogs are painted with empathy, humour, and a deep understanding of character. Rendered in oil paint with nods to the Old Masters, these portraits balance the human and the dog just right — expressive eyes, knowing smiles, everyday rituals, and small joys that feel instantly familiar.
A book to linger over, laugh with, and return to again and again. Perfectly capturing — as Little Louis might say — the canine condition, like you’ve never seen it before.
