The contains images of city life from a dogs perspective. Overall the book retains a positive and humorous edge even when dealing with the homeless in New York seen from canine Big Al's perspective.



Big Al also known as Alowishus

came into my life like most dogs these

days passed around as a puppy by several

different owners,



He was given to me by my mother who

had also been given the dog but was moving.

Mom asked me to watch him for her

while she got settled but little did she

know I would not be able to give him back.



I had never had a dog and so I

'hemmed and hawed'

and acted like she was sending me

an intruder back then especially since

space is so limited in New York city.



Looking back I realize, I should have been

thanking the stars for this divine little

creature with the biggest heart and soul

that was coming to change my life for

the better.



St. Alowishus was the patron saint of

students and I am sure Big Al lives up

to his namesake because I learn something

new from him everyday!



I created this photo book of him to share

this wonderful character with the world.

Who knows, maybe he will inspire someone

to adopt a dog or at the very least

say ‘yes’ when someone asks them to take

care of one.



Take it from me, the luckiest guy in the world

dogs RULE!
