This week’s cover of The New Yorker is Mark Ulriksen’s “A Walk in the Snow”:
In his recently published book, “Dogs Rule Nonchalantly,” Ulriksen explains his predilection for painting man’s best friend: “Dogs give you their undivided attention,” he writes. “They watch your every gesture, read your every emotion, listen attentively to every word you say—until they hear the rustle of a bag of chips being opened.” Or, in the winter after a snowstorm, until you open the door to go outside.
Be sure to check out several of Ulriksen’s images of dogs here: Mark Ulriksen’s “A Walk in the Snow”.

I love that picture!
So, so true! Our two have had a ball in the winter wonderland being built outside our door these last couple of days.
That’s great Lori. Our short hair no undercoat Zeke, not so much…
Well, I have this guy Bogey? He doesn’t read any emotion other than those of potential aliens, birds and planes and whatever voices talk to him in his head. And the snow? Open the door and immediate face plant, followed by massive amounts of snow and ice ingestion. Strange? Oh you have no idea.
Smiling. Gotta love him.
I do – in spite of himself.
Snow?…what’s that? I vaguely remember, but it’s a distant memory.
Couldn’t resist, huh, pal? 🙂
Have you read the essay ‘what the dog saw’ by malcolm gladwell? you might really like it. It talks (a little) about how dogs perceive each other and humans by extension.
No I haven’t. On my way to check it out. Thanks Moira.
i love this cover.
