Description: My Dog's Brain is a book of woodcut prints featuring Stephen Huneck's Labrador Sally in a series of humorous pictorial concepts illustrating the existential dilemmas, the concerns, pleasures, and appetites of dogs -- and their human relations. Stephen Huneck's dog is a practical-minded dog, a realist absorbed with every day affairs. Stephen Huneck's dog is sensitive, loyal, and loving -- but not necessarily at the expense of those gnawing appetites. Faced with the typical moral quandaries foisted upon canines by humans: shall I sleep on the sofa? or snag a morsel from off the kitchen counter? or stick my nose into other people's business? -- Stephen Huneck's dog, a representational everyman of the canine variety -- invariably answers in favor of satisfying those persistent pangs. To be good or bad as a dog is not a dog's concern except insofar as a loyal owner may bark too loudly or withhold scratching behind the ears. You just have to understand the way a dog thinks.
