Cover image from Rover by Andrew Grant (see page 3). Photograph ©Andrew Grant PETS / PICTORIAL ROVER Wagmore Edition Andrew Grant In 2009, Andrew Grant began photographing dogs, starting with two French bulldogs at an unrelated commercial “shoot”. Then he discovered the sad fact that millions of lost or abandoned dogs enter animal shelters every year. And only a few leave, through rescue and adoption. The rest are euthanized or live out a lonely, caged life. Andrew Grant began to photograph dogs that should be rescued, and dogs that have been rescued. Over 6 years he raised nearly $2 million for shelter dogs through his photographic project. He did this with the sale of four limited-edition books of dog portraits, each called Rover. Each was bigger than the previous, and helped by hundreds of sponsoring dog owners. Those editions are all sold out, and fetch up to $400 on the rare book market — when available. Most, though, are as treasured as their canine subjects. FIREFLY BOOKS 368 pages Now, Firefly Books is publishing a popularly-priced trade edition of 11¼ × 11¼ Rover: Wagmore Edition. It contains 360 of Andrew Grant’s most 978-1-77085-989-0 360 photos, full color appealing photographs of dogs.
