I, Jack Russell

This thought and the fact that he had many more photographs of his dogs than his family and friends, led photographer Andy Hughes to this visual exploration of the relationship between dogs and their human companions and how they are increasingly integrated and implicated in each other's lives. "I, Jack Russell" is a journey of discovery that will enthrall dog lovers everywhere.

This joyous enterprise, is accompanied by short excerpts from psychologist Alexandra Horowitz best selling book "Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell and Know" and a specially commissioned foreword from anthrozoologist Dr. John Bradshaw and Hughes' own stories of the dogs he has met along the way. But it's the brilliantly observed pictures that tell the real story of Andy Hughes' passion for his favourite breed the Jack Russell Terrier, seen in "I, Jack Russell" at work, rest and play in both the UK and USA.

Originally bred as a hunting dog in England in the 19th century and still used as working dogs today, Jack Russells are sturdy, tough, tenacious, intelligent, athletic, fearless and vocal animals, happy to engage with the human race.
