Dogs’ faces are all so unique — eyes that can see deep into your soul; noses long and short, with textures and colours ranging from the blackest black, to pink and every shade in between; the length of their ears and whether they stand up straight, droop low or perhaps a combination of both; the infinite arrangements of coat markings and hair lengths, curly or straight; wrinkled jowls, wrinkled foreheads, whiskers, teeth, tongues and eyebrows.

Muttshots is the evolution of photographer Loz Dalton’s personal project to examine furry faces from different angles and became a joyful exploration into uncovering the personalities, quirks and stories that accompany the different breeds. She discovered the way people lit up when telling stories about their dogs highlighted the huge bond we have with our animals and how pure and special their unconditional love is for us is.
