In Good Dog, acclaimed photographer Randal Ford turns his signature portrait lens toward the one subject guaranteed to disarm even the most composed among us: the dog. The result is a joyful, heartwarming collection that captures exactly what we love most—warmth, humor, soulful expression, and that unmistakable devotion that has made dogs our companions for millennia.
Across 150 striking portraits, Ford celebrates every kind of canine charisma. There are mutts with movie-star charm, dignified show dogs radiating elegance, and lovable faces that seem to carry entire personalities in a single glance. Each image is clean, iconic, and full of feeling—proof that a great portrait doesn’t just show what someone looks like, but who they are.
A thoughtful, compelling essay by bestselling author W. Bruce Cameron adds emotional depth, making this book feel as tender as it is playful. Even better, Good Dog gives back: proceeds benefit Emancipet, a nonprofit dedicated to making veterinary care affordable and accessible. Since 1999, Emancipet has spayed or neutered more than 350,000 dogs and cats, and in 2019 alone provided care for over 170,000 pets.
Beautiful, meaningful, and impossible not to smile through, Good Dog is the kind of book you’ll keep within reach—because every page feels like love.
