I’ve had some great reviews for Slum Dogs in the press and here are just a few snippets to share with you:
India-philes and dog lovers alike will adore this paean to the subcontinent’s footloose mutts.
WANDERLUST
Beautifully captures the different aspects of the dogs’ daily lives. It’s a lovely book which will bring a tear to your eye.
BURNLEY EXPRESS
While this is certainly a book designed for animal lovers, it should appeal to fans of documentary photography as well… Instead of focusing on maximum cuteness Leyden has highlighted something much more poignant: the dog’s shared struggle for survival with their human cohabitants… Intimate portraits of the dogs interacting with homeless people, street vendors, workers and children at play are the real gems here, and make it much more than a cute animal picture book.
AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
This collection of utterly beguiling pooches is by no means syrupy or sentimental, rather an enlightening voyage through the cultural highlights (and lowlights) of an incredibly vibrant part of the world, with some seriously interesting anecdotes along the way, imparted with knowledge and ease.
