   "In 2009, Andrew Grant began photographing dogs, starting with     
   two French bulldogs at an unrelated commercial "shoot." Then he     
   discovered the sad fact that millions of lost or abandoned dogs     
   enter animal shelters every year. And only a few leave through     
   rescue and adoption.   
      
   "The rest are euthanized or live out a lonely, caged life.   
      
   "Andrew Grant began to photograph dogs that should be rescued,   
   and dogs that have been rescued. Over six years he raised   
   nearly $2 million for shelter dogs through his photographic   
   project. He did this with the sale of four limited-edition   
   books of dog portraits, each called Rover. Each was bigger than   
   the previous, and helped by hundreds of sponsoring dog owners.   
      
   "Those editions are all sold out, and fetch up to $400 on the   
   rare book market -- when available. Most, though, are as   
   treasured as their canine subjects. At least one copy is prized   
   by Ellen DeGeneres, dog lover extraordinaire, who featured the   
   book on her show.   
      
   "Now, Firefly Books is publishing a popularly-priced trade   
   edition called Take Me Home. It contains 265 of Andrew Grant's   
   most appealing photographs of dogs. Some are the best friends   
   of lucky owners, and some, sadly, are homeless.   
      
   "All are splendidly realized in sharp, large and very lifelike   
   color portraits. All were captured by state-of-the-art   
   equipment and are truly the most beautiful dog pictures you   
   will ever see. They feature purebreds of almost every kind and   
   mixed breeds, too.
