If there’s one space in your home that dogs despise, it’s the bathroom. A trip there can only imply one thing: it’s time to get wet as well as soapy. “Every canine owner understands as well well the fun as well as misery of bath time: the wriggles, the touching looks, the lively splashes,” states Sophie Gamand, the professional photographer as well as animal advocate behind the lovely new book wet canine (Grand central Publishing, $27). Click with our gallery to get a sneak peek inside the lighthearted tome, full of funny portraits of adorable wet dogs.
