My Name Is Moose: Modern Life Through a Dog's Eyes
A heartfelt story told in photographs and Moose the dog's narration, about how one small dog helped his owner chase the Black Dog away.
My name is Moose and my master's a photographer. Well, he usually is. At the moment, he's in trouble. He feels really sad. Because he's got not work. I know what that means: more pictures of scruffy old me . . . Captured through his owner Martin's photographs, this is the story of Moose the dog's life in East London, and the effect of the recession on his owner. Moose introduces us to his friends, favorite smells, and thoughts on the modern world. Through his poignant and funny first-hand account of the highs and lows of being a photographer's dog, and his efforts to help his owner through a time of no work, we discover a wagging tale about not giving up, and being a man's best friend.

This book is fantastic. Only short, but the photography within is brilliant and the story is very touching.

Everything about this book is perfect. The photography is gorgeous, the story is sweet, and the dog Moose is just so adorable! I wish it were longer, but it would probably take away from its charm!

I picked this up for a pound in the clearance section of Waterstones not knowing what to expect, but it turned out to be bloody fantastic!

When you're having a tough time and need a book to lift you up, photos can say a thousand words. Just brilliant!

I love this book so much have read it several times! The photographs make this book, they are brilliant. But the text has just enough humour and makes a good story despite the theme, (its about when the recession hit and how people felt....especially the out of work photographer who wrote the book...with the aid of his dog Moose of course!!) Brilliant book.
