About this book

From acclaimed animal photographer Elke Vogelsang comes a charming personal collection of portraits of her three dogsNoodles Scout and Ioli. Nice Nosing You presents Elkes expressive portraits of her much-loved dogs; a collection compiled over two years in what became a personal and touching project for Elke and her husband Carsten. One year on Christmas Day Elkes dogs suddenly started barking outside the bathroom door. Investigating the commotion Elke discovered Carsten collapsed in the bathroom. He had suffered a major brain haemorrhage and the dogs had in fact saved his life discovering him at a crucial time. The months immediately following were filled with much uncertainty and in an attempt to establish some sort of routine and find something to lift her husbands mood Elke started taking photos of their dogs to show Carsten in the hospital.
