What dog owner hasnt done this? You anthropomorphize your four-legged friend, put thoughts and feelings into his or her head that he or she almost certainly doesnt have, and basically turn your pet into a four-legged person. That is exactly how photographer Sandra Mller feels about her dog Majawho inspired Dog Peoplethe book that provides hilarious and creative photographic answers to the question: What kind of person would this dog be? Whether its Great Dane Holly as a couch potato or Gismo riding a Harley, these images and more make up the unforgettable and endearing collection of portraits of mans best friend in Dog People.
No, this book is not meant to be a fashion show for dogs and dog owners. This book is simply a thought experiment: what kind of person would my dog be? And lets be honest: who hasnt given his or her dog a lengthy explanation which the dog seems to listen to raptly but surely doesnt understand every word of? Yes, yes, I knowYOUR dog understands every word! So does mine! (Sandra Mller, photographer/author of Dog People)

The book is a colorful parade of dogs, from Giant Schnauzers to Pugs, from registered purebreds to street mutts. There is also a humorous description of each dog explaining how the outfit was chosen to make the particular animal a Dog Man or Dog Lady. For example, take Gisbert, a Pug who would surely be a doctor if he were humanas he loves his vet so much that all you have to do is say Dr. Uwe and he pricks his earsas much as any Pug can prick his ears, at least.
Dog People shows us 83 wonderful dog portraits from a purebred Standard Schnauzer to a street mutt and a panoply of human characters.
