Puppies. They may just be learning to walk, but they already know how to charm. And leading pet photographer Sharon Montrose knows just how to capture puppies in all their wet-nosed, tail-wagging appeal.With these emotionally captivating books, the latest additions to her hit "Lightweights Littermates" series, Montrose trains her camera's loving and bemused eye on the youngsters of two popular breeds: French bulldogs and poodles. Her subjects - sweetly defenceless newborns as well as older pups just beginning to explore the world around them - are portrayed in both group and individual shots. But whether they're huddled tightly together with their brother and sister littermates or bravely venturing out on their own, these little dogs share a common trait. They are adorable.As in the previous "Lightweights Littermates" books - on dachshunds and Labs - Montrose gives you each pup's name, with the bite-size bulldogs represented by Pretzel, Flyboy and Tubbs (among others) and the petite poodles by Claudine, Pascal and Amelie.
She also provides the age and weight for each - illustrating just how endearingly tiny they are by perching some of her wide-eyed pups on an antique balance scale. Cute? You bet. These books are guaranteed to warm any dog-lover's heart.
