The photographer behind Unleashed combines man’s best friend with time in this touching portrait collection capturing dogs as puppies and as older dogs.

Dog Years is a heartwarming look at the lives and stories of thirty dogs. By presenting portraits of each dog as a puppy and again as an older dog, photographer Amanda Jones reveals the unique spark of personality that lasts a lifetime. These beautiful images of breeds ranging from golden retrievers and Great Danes to pugs and French bulldogs are accompanied by reflections from loved ones on the lives they share with their furry companions. The result is a celebration of each dog and a tribute to the relationships we share with our four-legged friends.

"Every story is touching and clearly conveys the love those owners have for their dogs. While the puppy photos are adorable, it's the juxtaposition of the same dogs' senior portraits that's particularly striking. Their fur coats are graying but the spark in their eyes is still there--it's clear they've been cherished over the years. Dog lovers will pore over this book.."

My dogs are almost 11 and showing a lot of salt and pepper. This book really spoke to my heart. We have 3 boys (ages 5, 11, and 17) who loved it as well. Mine was from a secondhand seller and arrived promptly in like new condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars so I am hoping the receiver will love it, being a dog lover like myself

Thank you so much, yes it's a Christmas present, so I am hoping the receiver will love it, being a dog lover like myself. We lost our old collie x lab in April, he was 15. I have printed off some old pics of him as a puppy and as the lovable old boy he was at the end of his days, and plan to place them at the back of your book, to add a personal touch to the gift.

Many thanks. What a great idea and I love the pictures!

Best wishes

Beautiful book at an unbelievable price. This is a coffee table type book with beautiful photographs and wonderful little vignettes about each dog. I bought it as a gift for a family member who is a dog lover. I figured I wasn't risking much for $4, but I got much more than I was expecting. The book is very high quality and I am sure the recipient will be thrilled.

This is fantastic. I bought one for me and one for my grandson. Of course the dust cover has pictures that look exactly like two of my own dogs. If you have had dogs that stayed with you for 9-17 years, you will really appreciate this book. I can't say enough about how enjoyable this book was. If I could afford it, I would buy it for all my friends who have dogs.

I really enjoyed looking at the pictures in this book. Anyone who has lived with a dog from its youth until its senior years or who likes dogs in general will probably enjoy it as well. I appreciated the time the author must have had to invest in this project in order to capture the then and now shots. The photos are well done.

This is one of the best publications by Amanda Jones, the premier pet photographer of our time. The images capture the very essence of why we love our aging pets - that they don't just grow older; rather, they constantly evolve into new characters that we love for different reasons and with ever increasing intensity. A great addition to anyone's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dog Years es un libro imprescindible
Reviewed in Spain on July 2, 2018
Verified Purchase
Tanto fotográficamente como conceptualmente el trabajo de Dog Years de Amanda Jones compone una mirada completa en el significado de la vida de un perro y sus dueños. El tiempo abarcado en tan solo dos fotografías invita a la reflexión sobre la importancia de los perros en nuestra vida. La reproducción del libro no es de la mejores pero el cariño puesto en el y lo que evoca hace que las reproducciones no sean lo relevante.

5.0 out of 5 stars As emotional as it is cute...
Reviewed in Canada on September 25, 2015

My first 'family' dog has recently turned 15 years old. He is completely deaf, mostly blind, very slow, and day-by-day becoming less himself. I saw this book online and instantly found the need to purchase it, not only for the beautiful photos, but to see how others coped when faced with the loss of their best friend. Needless to say, this book is as emotional as it is cute, and I was misty-eyed as I read through the stories of how the dogs became a part of their families. I was honoured to be able to look these dogs in the eyes (well, on paper), both in their early days and in their last. Thank you.

All together now: aaawwwww. If you know someone who loves dogs then this is your Christmas present for them solved. Amanda Jones is a gifted photographer of dogs in the USA and this book has been years in the making. Side by side shots of the young pup with the same dog, a decade later, now a affable old gentleman (or gentlewoman). Some of the photographs are seriously affecting, especially if they remind you of now departed companions. You could always add a bag of Lily's Dog Treats to the present, for the mutt ....
