Dogs of the World

A Gallery of Pups from Purebreds to Mutts

Written and Illustrated by Lili Chin

Dogs of the World is packed with over six hundred dog illustrations and fascinating tidbits, expanding on the poster series of the same name. Tracing the history of our modern dogs through a vibrantly visual timeline, this book combines my love of drawing diverse-looking dogs - breeds, landraces, village dogs, mutts - with explanations of all the different labels we use to classify them.

Playful yet well researched, Dogs of the World treats dogs as not just breeds, but international citizens. From ancient dogs kept for their function, through the myriad resplendent mutts of today, Chin's illustrations smile out at you, happy to keep your company. This is a welcome addition and critical supplement to breed books.
- Alexandra Horowitz, author of Inside of a Dog and The Year of the Puppy

Dogs of the World takes you on a fascinating journey into how coevolution and selective breeding has resulted in the hundreds of dog breeds we see today. Chin’s wonderful illustrations make this vast and complex subject entertaining and accessible and you are sure to discover breeds you never even knew existed. This is one book that your dog definitely wants you to read!”
- Victoria Stilwell, dog behavior expert, author, and TV host
