Dogs are my favorite animals and my greatest teachers. Through my books I explore their personalities, their joy, and how they demonstrate the infinite creativity and love of the Universe.
With their one-of-a-kind charm, mutts often prompt the question, “What kind of dog is that?”
The answer is only a simple DNA test away. In this charming book, photographer Grace Chon pairs stunning portraits of mixed-breed pups with their DNA breakdowns, revealing the origins of their adorable quirks―from long bodies and stubby legs to that one floppy ear that refuses to stand up straight. Sometimes funny, sometimes surprising, and always exceptionally lovable, What Kind of Dog Is That? is a must-have for every dog lover.

What Kind of Dog Is That?
Doggie makeovers that will make you smile
Japanese dog grooming does not follow the rules of traditional, breed- standard grooming. In fact, it only has one mission―to make dogs look as adorable as possible! With extreme attention to detail and careful consideration of a pup’s best attributes, Japanese dog groomers and salons achieve the perfect transformation by forgetting uniform looks and getting creative.
From internationally acclaimed pet photographer and author of Waggish: Dogs Smiling for Dog Reasons comes this adorable book, which showcases the transformation of dogs going from cute to cutest. Originally a viral photo series called “Hairy,” Grace Chon’s work perfectly captures the whimsy and glamour of freshly groomed furry friends. With nearly 50 before- and- afters, Chon proves that Japanese dog grooming is not just a haircut, but a work of art.

To be "waggish" is to be playful and mischievous―the very definition of these adorable dogs and the things they (might) think about us
There's no mistaking a happy dog. The wagging tail, the eager eyes, the smile that's impossible to fake. A happy dog radiates pure joy. Yet the mystery remains: What's really going on behind those waggish grins? Are our dogs laughing with us? At us? Are they operating at a higher stage of enlightenment . . . or just buttering us up before we discover the tiny, torn remnants of burrito wrapper suspiciously dotting the hallway?
In Waggish, the infinite expressions of happy dogs are captured in an amazing series of photographs by renowned animal photographer Grace Chon, whose images have made her the go-to pet photographer of Hollywood’s top celebrities. As for what these dogs are really thinking, writer Melanie Monteiro expertly channels their innermost thoughts, pairing each photo with a caption such as, “If loving tennis balls is wrong, I don’t want to be right” and “You know, we’ll both get outside a lot quicker if you just forget the pants.” Waggish is the perfect gift for every dog lover.
