Four&Sons Issue 9

In our Spring issue, theres much to be in high spirits about. We go behind the scenes of Wes Andersons Isle of Dogs, a movie fuelled by dopamine, alpha dogs, and a vast crew of artisans and animators. We hang with a pack of trippy-looking poodles created by artist Susumu Kamijo. We find five mutts who changed history by injecting their human counterparts with a good dose of serotonin. There is plenty of oxytocin going around, too. We celebrate Suleks photography of rescued Spanish galgos, Jo Longshursts abstract twist on pet portraiture, and Ho Hai Trans love of stripes and spots. We travel to Berlin, Toronto, London, and upstate New York to meet creative types whose bonds with their four-legged mates are as heartfelt as they are intoxicating. We ask five foodies to fess up about dog snacks and guilty pleasures that feed body and soul, and we embrace illustrator Apolline Muets bear hugs between humans and animals. All this, and more, inside the covers.
