Photography is a beautiful window into the lives of others. Dogs have been man’s best friend for hundreds of years, so there’s no doubt that they have been starring in photographs for quite some time!
Catherine Johnson is one of the top collectors of canine photography. In honor of her collection of impressive vintage canine photos, the American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog will show off some highlights of her collection.
“When selecting these images, I looked for something in them in which you can see the affection and connection that the amateur felt for the dogs, the people in the photographs and their wish to preserve these elusive moments in time.” – Johnson
In this collection you will see a wide variety of the antics that our favorite furry friends have been up to over the years.
