Animals & Nature

Since the wolf first snuck into the caves of our ancestors to take warmth from the fire, Canis lupus familiaris has been man's constant companion. In this stunning follow-up to the critically acclaimed Equus, award-winning photographer Tim Flach sets out again to document human-animal relationships and provide a unique perspective on one of our closest companions. From the exquisite specimens on show at Crufts and the Westminster Kennel Club dog shows to shelter dogs lovingly rescued by volunteers; from the grace and agility of racing greyhounds to adored domestic companions; from Afghan hounds to Hungarian komondors to Chinese crested, Tim Flach delves deep into the psyche of our enduring bond with dogs.
