What do Hillary Clinton, Whoopi Goldberg, and Tom Brokaw have in common? They all collect artwork that features the Blue Dog. Now in a deluxe edition that breaks the boundaries of bookmaking, here is the beautiful story of the "real" dog behind the top-selling art phenomenon that has captivated America.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

How did Tiffany, beloved pet of George Rodrigue and his family, become the Blue Dog? What are the secrets that lie behind those soulful golden eyes? What can this inspirational tale about a dog, her master, and his paintings tell us about love, art, and human nature? George Rodrigue's colorful and intriguing paintings dramatize Tiffany's transformation from a frisky black-and-white terrier/spaniel to Blue Dog, illustrating the points and counterpoints encountered by both man and beast in their poignant search for deeper communication. The text alternates between the voices of George and Tiffany, so readers have the benefit of both perspectives and can fully appreciate Blue Dog's pointed yet sophisticated sense of humor.
