Melanie Steele
Where would we be without dogs in our daily lives? Our dogs stick by us through thick and thin, never disapproving and always waiting for us.
As Mordecai Siegal, author of over 30 books about dogs, cats, and horses stated, “Acquiring a dog may be the only time a person gets to choose a relative.” His words ring true and give expression to the deep love we have for our canine companions.
Join Melanie Steele and photographer Holli Murphy as they capture the essence of these fine creatures—noble, charismatic and fun-loving in Dogs: The Family We Choose.
Foreword by Dana Perino, Fox News Contributor Co-host of The Five and former White House Press Secretary
Preface by Denis J. Marcellin-Little, DEDV; Professor, Orthopedic Surgery, College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University
“The human-canine bond is unlike any other in the world. Through their love, friendship and undying devotion, our dogs show us the very best qualities in ourselves. Their companionship enhances and enriches our lives in ways no other animal can.” -Dennis B. Sprung, President & CEO, American Kennel Club
