Only the most die-hard cat lover will be immune to the charms of the new Phaidon collection Dogs: Vintage Snapshots of Man's Best Friend.
Photo-world fixture Catherine Johnson and William Wegman, the shutterbug who put Weimeraners on the map, have assembled more than 450 vintage, amateur snaps of canines in this volume. There are pups of nearly every breed posing in almost every setting you can imagine: in the snow, at the beach, by the Christmas tree, snuggling up with giggling tots.
It's a fascinating, anthropological peek at how dogs fit into the day-to-day of a time gone by, and as the people over at CuteOverload might say, the amount of adorability in these pages is also fairly redonk.
