Synopsis

From Toto in The Wizard of Oz to Rocky II's Butkus, memorable canines appear in movie still shots, supplemented with quotations and quips that will evoke a chuckle. Here are words-and-picture cameos marked by wit, homespun wisdom, and entertaining trivia, all focusing on dogs that achieved their moments of fame in the movies. Most photos are clever or funny, though some are very chic-for instance, a statuesque shot of Audrey Hepburn holding her Yorkie as she stands on a Paris railway platform. It comes from her 1957 movie hit, Funny Face. Readers will smile at quips like artist Norman Rockwell's: "If a picture wasn't going very well, I'd put a puppy dog in it." Hollywood Dogs will make a great little gift book. Pick one up, then take time out for a few moments of lighthearted humor. Photos on every two-page spread.
