Description

This is a gifty reissue of a bestselling author s whimsical portrait of Sally, the famous black Labrador, via his trademark woodcut prints. Stephen Huneck s beloved black Labrador Sally has spawned a whole series of children s books, as well as woodcut prints, stationary, tote bags, t-shirts, and even rugs, but the genesis of this world was the now-classic first book, My Dog s Brain . This volume was a project of passion as Huneck was inspired to create it after a life-threatening illness and two-month coma. The first woodcut he created was the first spread of the book, Life is a Ball, and all the charming ones that follow it portray the dog that brought him so much joy. My Dog s Brain illustrates the predicaments, pleasures, and appetites that make up a dog s life. Specifically, Sally lives for love, loyalty, and the pleasure of the moment, whether it s sleeping on the couch, stealing a lick from an ice cream cone, or barking for no good reason. Sally is neither a good dog nor a bad dog, but My Dog s Brain humorously sheds some light on her (and every dog s) impulses and way of thinking.
