Ask any dog owner about their pet, and you'll get a story: the sock thief, the couch hog, the one who greets every delivery driver like a long-lost friend. Photographer Vicky Champagne collects those stories, then hands the microphone to the dogs themselves.
Her project, Who's Your Doggy, pairs portraits with short stories written from each dog's point of view, based on what their families share about their personalities, quirks, and the difference they've made in their lives. We first featured the series two years ago, and it has grown considerably since then: Volume 3 is now out, bringing the total to more than 120 dogs, with part of the project raising funds for the Humane Society.
Scroll down to meet some of the stars of the new volume, each introduced in their own words.
#21 Quinzee — The Only Child
“In this house, I am not simply loved, I am the sun. Everything else orbits around me, and I carry that naturally, and without apology.”

#22 Bandit — The Peacekeeper
“They named me Bandit. I never quite fit the part. From the very beginning, I was the one sitting in the middle of the chaos, watching it settle.”
