Me & Chris : A Dog’s Story by Alex
by Christopher A. Cozzi
“This book made me want to go home and cuddle my dogs, just for being canine.”
Me & Chris is the story of best friends: a dog named Alex—(a mix of Labrador and maybe a little bit of Beagle and Rhodesian Ridgeback) and his master, Chris (a mix of visual artist, teacher, designer, and master stoneworker).
In this highly visual, memoir-style scrapbook, Alex takes the lead and, from his canine perspective, tells the story of these two constant companions and the lifetime of adventures they shared: renovating houses, building gardens and stone walls, forming and ending relationships, and—in a novel and sometimes controversial way—teaching art to elementary school students in an urban public school.
This fast-paced, visually compelling book is fully illustrated with color photographs and with facsimile journal pages and artwork by the artist-author, documenting the many years that the two faithful friends spent together.
