Summary: Just Beautiful
Review: A Dog Walker/Trainer with a lifetime love for photography, this is my favorite kind of book. For sure. I've picked up many, but Sharon Montrose is my favorite. Every photo is so beautiful and I just LOVE how she captures the personality of her furry subjects. That's the true talent in my eyes. Of all of versions of this kind of work I have perused, this is my favorite one. Lightweights (Sharon Montrose) is a close second. I also am aslo a fan of "If only you knew how much I smell you."

Summary: Dogtionary
Review: After giving a few copies of Dogtionary as Christmas gifts, I am ordering a few more because the book was such a big hit with my friends. These dog portraits are beautiful and yet so simple. Any dog owner who has struggled to get a good picture of their pet can take inspiration from this book. Sharon Montrose clearly knows and loves her subjects well.

Summary: Beautiful, yet Montrose forgot to mention...
Review: Altough "Dogtionary" is a beautifully, artfully, photographed book, Ms. Montrose neglected to acknowledge world renowned photographer Keith Carter who's work and obvious inspiration, especially that of the book "bones", majorly contributed to Montrose's photographic style, direction and content. As for Keith Carter, for whom Montrose so eloquently ripped off in making her photographic book Dogtionary, the exceptionally timeless book "Bones" by Keith Carter is certainly worth having if you're so inclined to come across it.

Summary: Just Beautiful
Review: As an amateur photographer and animal lover, I'm on the lookout for dog portraits that are something special - this book has them! The photos are divine and the "meanings" of each subject's name are terrific. You get a real feeling for each dog's personality, something which is missing from so many so-called "great" animal portraits. If you love dogs and want to have a great coffee table book, or give it as a gift, this is the one!

Summary: A Piece of Art
Review: Dogtionary is not only a fabulous collection of photos, but also a piece of art that I fondly look at every day. This book never tires. The photographer, Sharon Montrose, has done something so rarely seen in commercial photography books today, she has captured truly inspiring moments of these innocent and wonderful creatures. Dogtionary has been a hit with every guest who has picked it up from my coffee table. I especially love the Musketeers page (you must buy to see what I mean). I highly recommend this book for your own collection or as a gift. Thank you Ms. Montrose!

Summary: Personality PLUS: The Photos; The Definitions; The Book
Review: Personality is the best word to describe "Dogtionary." Plus, it's simply beautiful. The photographs, as art, are unique in style and perspective. The dogs, as characters, are as recognizable and varied as cousins at a family reunion. The definitions are a chuckle, a hoot, an insight, a knowing. Even the book itself - lusciously printed on heavy cream paper, with a rich satin cover - has so much personality that you reach for it again and again. Everyone who's seen "Dogtionary" on my table has the same reaction. "That book is number one on my holiday list. I'm giving it to 'dog' people, to 'cat' people and to 'no pet' people too."
