Jeff Selis, along with his trusty bull terrier, Otis, and his old friend, Seamus, left Portland in August of last year, with a minivan, a polaroid, and a mission to meet and photograph every dog they could find. They arrived back home in time for Thanksgiving, with a whole slew of stories, photographs, and about fifty new four-legged friends. Dog Bless America is one third travel diary to two thirds class yearbook - there is a photograph of a dog from each state, sometimes more than one, and a charmingly sweet and funny bio, to go along with them. Set against the backdrop of the road trip of a lifetime, these dogs manage to wag, bark, swim, hunt, and drool their way into the staunchest of hearts. Jeff Selis has done it again, and this time, with just the right pinch of patriotism to make you proud to be an American - no matter what species you are!
Jeff Selis lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife Alice and their three children - two of whom are dogs. When Jeff isn't out producing television commercials for clients such as Nike and ESPN, he can probably be found with a camera in his hands and a dog in his viewfinder. His previous book is Cat Spelled Backwards Doesn't Spell God: Portraits of Divine Dogs, Chronicle Books 0811828174
