Maira Kalman; with wit and great sensitivity; reveals why dogs bring out the best in us Maira Kalman + Dogs = Bliss Dogs have lessons for us all. In Beloved Dog; renowned artist and author Maira Kalman illuminates our cherished companions as only she can. From the dogs lovingly illustrated in her acclaimed childrenrsquo;s books to the real-life pets who inspire her still; Kalmanrsquo;s Beloved Dog is joyful; beautifully illustrated; and; as always; deeply philosophical. Here is Max Stravinsky; the dog poet of Oh-La-La (Max in Love)-fame; and her own Irish Wheaton Pete (almost named Einstein; until he revealed himself to be ldquo;clearly no Einsteinrdquo;); who also made an appearance in the delightful What Pete Ate: From A to Z. And of course; there is Boganch; Kalmanrsquo;s in-lawsrsquo; ldquo;big black slobbering Hungarian Beast.rdquo; And thatrsquo;s just the beginning. With humor and intelligence; Kalman gives voice to the dogs she adores; noting that they are constant reminders that life reveals the best of itself when we live fully in the moment and extend unconditional love. ldquo;And it is very true;rdquo; she writes; ldquo;that the most tender; complicated; most generous part of our being blossoms without any effort; when it comes to the love of a dog.rdquo;From the Hardcover edition.
