Acknowledgments
I must thank my family and friends for putting up with me during the crazy writing schedule, and for always letting me point a camera at them, usually at an inconvenient time. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
Thank you to everyone at Wiley for your hard work and dedication to this project. Writing a book is more of a team effort than many people realize, and I have been lucky enough to have a great team: Courtney, Amanda, George, and everyone at Wiley, I could not do this without you.
Thanks to Rodney, Kasey, and Kaitlin for being such great subjects.
All of the dogs photographed in this book were rescued from animal shelters, and some of them are still looking for their forever homes. Thanks to Boxers N Birds Animal Rescue for all that it does.
To my wife, who supports my crazy writing schedule, and doesn’t mind when I turn the living room or kitchen into a makeshift studio to photograph a candle or two; I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I could not do this without your love and encouragement.
