I had to check out what this book was all about. It combines
two of my favorite things: dogs and photography. The photographs are one part hilarious,
one part grotesque, and two parts heart. Dogs look pretty weird moving
underwater, especially if they’re on a retrieval mission. Their eyes bulge,
their mouths distort, and their teeth look downright terrifying. But their fur
and ears look angelic. Who knew water was such a perfect filter for capturing a
portrait of man’s best friend? Seth Casteel did.
I would have preferred a bit more text, something to show
the dog’s personality “on land.” And there are a couple full-spread shots where
the action is happening right in the gutter—where the pages come together—and
you can’t see the dog. This was a heinous oversight in a photography book, if
you ask me.
Would you recommend
this to a friend?
Fun for the whole family. There’s also an Underwater Dogs: Kids Edition.
