After studying the lives of men who appear in this book, I
concluded I was part of a community that I did not know existed.
Dickens, Darwin, Byrd, and Freud. All friends that I never knew but
nonetheless feel connected to through their love of dogs. It struck
me one day that I took a cue from these men. To really understand
who they were you must look to their dogs. The bond reveals an
aspect of men that was not commonly known or in some cases,
purposefully hidden from view. To really see these places where man
meets dog offers a fresh perspective, windows into the best parts
of who we are. I think back 50 years ago to when I was 5 years-old.
At the time I was somewhat obsessed with drawing dogs driving cars.
Recently, I unfolded one of these masterpieces that I had tucked
away long ago. On the back of the image was my child-like scrawl
explaining the drawing on the other side. The words referred to the
canine in the driver's seat. But what caught my attention was the
mention of "Chris Dog" a reference to my own pedigree. By my
reckoning, I was part dog. The piece itself was not exactly a
foreshadowing of a promising art career. Instead, it spoke to the
way I would motor through my life, with a canine companion at my
side.
