»You really can't help smiling when you see these photos – pictures which conjure up everyday moments so fantastically and yet so naturally.« – Diana Eichhorn, Vox presenter and author of »Diana Eichhorn's practical tips for dog owners«

Are dogs too "only human"? That is, at least, what is likely to go through your mind when you see »Moneypenny« in these pictures – full of humour and bouncing with vitality. In Asia's »Year of the dog« the photographer and designer Peter Nitsch has broken with the conventional ways of seeing exemplified by traditional dog photography and places man's best friend as part of a refreshingly new photographic concept as a creature with its own personality and the centre of its own existence.

Heart and muzzle
»Moneypenny« is a dog of fascinating vitality and affability – quite simply a typical Parson Jack Russell Terrier. The journalistic style of these black and white pictures shine a spotlight on this lovable character and all the different places she lives in and visits. The pictures build up page for page into a passionate declaration of love for a dog, photography, and life itself.
