This is the whimsical world of Constance Depler’s Barhounds and Reindeer. A place where man’s best friend is his peer, his pal, someone to meet at the club for a cocktail or maybe a round of golf. Someone who looks and acts a lot like himself—a regular guy, the girl next door.
 
For the nostalgic, he’s also the 1950s. He smokes Chesterfields and drinks Manhattans. He dances in tropical-themed supper clubs and listens to Nat King Cole 45s. He goes to the barber shop, plays poker, works a 9-to-5 day.
 
One of America’s premier pet portrait artists, Constance Depler Coleman has a special appreciation for her animal subjects, one that comes from more than 60 years spent celebrating their every gesture and quirk.
