Man's Best Friend 

February 12, 2013 
Magnum photographers have always seemed to have a bit of a visual fascination with dogs -- there are literally thousands of portraits of the creatures in the archive! It's their uncanny humaness, and the fact that, like a person, every dog possesses a unique personality that can be captured with a well-timed click of the shutter.

With the Westminster Dog Show in progress just a few blocks from our New York office, Magnum presents a slideshow of some of the collective's best images of show dogs.
