NEW YORK: These adorable candid paw-traits showcase a variety of interactions between different pairs of dogs. 'Between Two Dogs' by Shaina Fishman see pooches sharing a kiss, a cuddle - even play fighting in the photographer's studio.
In total, Shaina, from Brooklyn in New York, USA, shot 30 pairs of dogs for the project, which has since been turned into her first book.
Dogs that featured in the shoots ranged from pugs to Dalmatians, with Shaina, 33, combining dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes.
Some of the shots featured just puppies, while others combined puppies and adult. The idea for the project came to Shaina early in her photography career, when she captured two bulldogs, a puppy and an adult, interacting.
She said: "The puppy is biting the adult's ear, who is laying on her back appearing to be laughing. It is this image that the publisher and so many others loved - that was the launch board for the book. The inspiration was to capture these unique moments and the bond between two dogs."
The photographer admitted having the owners on hand is really helpful - they may know certain commands that work best for their pets - and she often advises them on how to wrangle their pups or advises them when to give out a treat.
Going into the studio for 'Between Two Dogs' Shaina did not have certain shots in mind - she wanted everything to be completely natural, bringing to life the dogs' personalities. So far, the book, which was released last week, has received many positive responses, with people commenting on their favourite combinations of pooches.
"I want whoever is the audience of the images to not only see a cute dog but to see a personality and an emotion that is relatable and humorous. On top of that I love pairing images together to tell a story," she said.
