DOG BOOK AND DOG PAINTINGS BY Emily Eve Weinstein

When art and compassion converge, there is no telling what kind of magic will spring forth.
In the case of author/artist Emily Eve Weinstein, that convergence results in her latest labor
of love, DOG BOOK. In this new collection, Weinstein showcases her original oil paintings.

From the unadoptable mutt who finally finds a home to the Search and Rescue dogs of 9/11,
DOG BOOK offers us a compelling and often amusing glimpse into the life of over 60 remarkable
canines and their people. Combining captivating prose with oil paintings and pencil drawings
of her subjects and inspired by those subjects she so intuitively portrays, Weinstein masterfully
manages to bridge the gap between artist and essayist. Each dog became my muse, Weinstein
says. Animal neglect and abuse are all too common. My greatest hope is to educate without
lecturing or serving a double dose of saccharine. I hope my readers find themselves in my words
and images and join in helping make this a better world for all beings. All of my subjects display courage—whether it is the courage to give human caregivers a second chance or to search
through the rubble of the decimated World Trade Center. This book is about awareness
and hope.

DOG BOOK will delight those who appreciate fine art as much as it will a general audience
and animal lovers alike.
