How I transformed the loss of a beloved dog into a tribute honoring all dogs with Jacqueline Bokor

With a career styling for major brands, including Vogue and Vanity Fair, Jacqueline Lemieux-Bokor uses her talents to honor beloved dogs in her new book Remember Me As Sunshine, Love Notes From My Dog.

This is a pet sympathy book to honor and memorialize a beloved dog. A collection of dog poems I’ve written channeling our Vizsla, Boris, are matched to the unique personality of every treasured senior dog photographed. Each spread features black and white dog portraits, in colorful pages with still lifes, made from flowers, rocks and butterflies that you would find on a walk with your dog.

This book makes an incredibly thoughtful gift for the people in your life who either loves, or has loved and lost a dog.

It is filled with beauty and stunning images of older dogs that will capture your heartstrings.
