In this stunningly photographed book of architecturally superb houses–many of them architects’ own homes–we see how the presence of a dog brings warmth and life to the most dramatic spaces. From midcentury raw brick to a penthouse apartment, gracious Edwardian to Scandinavian modern, from beach house to country retreat, there is always room for a dog or two. They trot, nap, and sniff through every page, at times more rambunctious than their surroundings, and at others perfectly in tune with the setting.

Peek inside the most breathtaking homes that feature French bulldogs, golden retrievers, Labradoodles, and more as your guides. Oblivious to designer furniture, family heirlooms or serious design aesthetics, dogs can make themselves at home anywhere. In fact, the homes in this book are even more appealing because of their resident dogs.
