Or dogs. It's about Jared, and Jared's little brother. And a girl named Sophie. And then there's the cat. :-)Linda Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948970237555890150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865330614535830838.post-39234874613439602662012-05-15T20:19:53.744-07:002012-05-15T20:19:53.744-07:00What a good question.

I looked at books I have selected, and couldn't find a pattern that would suggest why I may have picked them. <br />I did notice that I have selected a few books because they have Golden Retrievers on the cover, and I owned several retrievers in my life. I began to wonder if a person doesn't care for a certain breed/color of dog, would the cover turn them off?<br />What if you had a cover showing the back of a person... or even a silhouette, with a leash going out of the picture - allowing each person to imagine 'their' dog.Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865330614535830838.post-42716779113781696272012-05-15T14:15:15.633-07:002012-05-15T14:15:15.633-07:00I think you're really going to need a dog on t...I think you're really going to need a dog on that one. You might want to start looking for some royalty-free or public domain photos that would suit the breed/appearance of the star. I suppose you could do that "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" thing where the guy walks the invisible dog, though, if that suits the story better. Would be hard to put together a photo of it, though.Rhea Rhodanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00965029684851153673noreply@blogger.com
