Sydney Street Photographer Giuseppe Santamaria, a man who loves and dogs and is beloved by dogs took to the streets of the world to discover through the eye of the camera the unique bond between man and dog that occurs, lasting until the final farewell has been undertaken.

Over a period of months he spent time simply watching, waiting and capturing the funny, tender, quirky and beloved moments anyone who has ever had a dog in their lives completely understands.

As never before, with many couples opting out of having children and dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds filling the gap, dogs are being understood, nurtured and enjoyed simply for being themselves, unique and complex creatures who have their own personalities, characteristics and charm.

Page after delightful page of stunning pictures captures a moment in time, recording in lavish colour beloved canines out and about undertaking their varied and daily routines shopping, taking a walk, charming all who see them in their latest outfits or waiting impatiently for that stick to be thrown.

Conversations with owners tell of funny, fascinating and charming snippets of their life with their beloved canine which in his relaxed style, Guiseppe Santamaria has captured to create a gift well worth the giving to one’s self, anyone who has a dog, would love a dog or simply wishes to share a moment in time vicariously in the world of dogs and their friends.

Dog’s Best Friend: A portrait of an unbreakable bond from renown photographer Giuseppe Santamaria is a coffee table book that will be enjoyed time and time again over many years.
