David Darcy

From Nine To Noon 20 August 2015

David Darcy has photographed dogs of all descriptions, all over the world, for the past 12 years.

He began at home in Australia, taking pictures of iconic Australian dogs - a best-selling book Mongrel Country was to follow.

There have been many more hugely popular books, and now David Darcy has turned his lens on New Zealand dogs and their owners.

He travelled the south to north and coast to coast meeting those with four legs and two. His book Kiwi Dogs and Their People has just been published.

David Darcy is also a keen advocate of animal rights and has worked with a number of animal welfare organisations, including Vets Beyond Borders, photographing their work in India, where they treat, vaccinate and de-sex slum dogs.
