Book Of The Week: Maddie On Things

When I saw the tagline, "A super serious project about dogs and physics" over a picture of a dog standing on the front of a VW Bus (something I have always dreamed of owning), I was immediately intrigued. After reading the intro of the book, I became even more interested. It didn't take long for me to decide against shelving this one- less than five minutes after discovering it, the book was quickly smuggled to my locker to await it's checkout when my library shift ended. Filled with fun (and sometimes puzzling!) photographs, this book is definitely worth checking out; you don't even have to be into reading to enjoy this one!

Title: Maddie On Things
Author: Theron Humphrey
Synopsis:

Maddie is a sweet-tempered coonhound who accompanied her owner, Theron, on a yearlong, cross-country trip while he worked on a photojournalism project. In his spare time, Theron took photos of Maddie doing what she does best: standing on things. From bicycles to giant watermelons to horses to people, there really isn't anything that Maddie won't stand on with grace and patience. The poignant Instagram photos of this beautiful dog and her offbeat poses have captured the imagination of all those who long for a road trip with a good dog for company. Maddie on Things celebrates the strange talent of one special dog and will resonate with any dog lover who appreciates the quirky hearts (and extraordinary balance) of canines.
