Paws to Heart / Paws with Heart
Sitting in a park one day, I couldn't stop watching the dogs. Some looked just like their owners. Some stared up at them like they were the whole world. At one point, a tough-looking man walked by with the tiniest dog, and something about that made me want to dig deeper.

I searched through digitized archives: the New York Public Library, the Library of Congress, the British Newspaper Archive, pulling images from the 1900s through the 1990s. What struck me was how little had changed. The dogs looked the same across every decade. It was only the owners' clothes and the backgrounds that revealed the era.
This became a two-book series. Paws to Heart collects archival images of humans and dogs across time. Paws with Heart is my own archive, dogs and their people I spotted and photographed in New York. Both are pocket-sized (2.75 × 4.25 inches), bound with a thin brown string: subtle, but hard to break.
