Dog lovers return that devotion and are forever curious to learn more and look at anything about their companion, especially gorgeous photographs. Good Dog! has all of that and more as it explores the charm and brilliance of our canine friends.

While dogs were the first animal to be domesticated, its origins as a species remains a mystery beyond their ancestry from wild wolves.
