"Every dog has his day," or so the saying goes. In this delightful photographic gift book from John Lund, every dog— a few cats and other creatures—has his say about how we humans should live our lives. Through his camera, John Lund captures downright human expressions and emotions from our furry friends; these animals speak their minds to us.

What does the four-pawed set have to say to us? Well, for starters, we should be a little bit more positive. "Never underestimate the power of a cheerful attitude," advises a smiling bulldog, adding, "A little coffee helps too." Animal Talk reveals what we can learn from our animal friends and will make you laugh when you recognize yourself in the eyes of a defiant Chihuahua or in the wrinkled face of a plaintive bloodhound. Animal Talk is just the book to remind us to laugh at ourselves, to take a cue from our animal friends, and to just live a little!
