Photographs of Famous Writers and Their Dogs

Last week Flavorwire posted a charming collection of photos of famous writers with their pets, including the likes of Kurt Vonnegut (above), John Steinbeck, Edith Wharton, and Virginia Woolf and their beloved pups. So many writers in the collection are already literary heroes of mine, and seeing that they, too, had a connection with dogs makes me feel all snuggly inside. More pics (and photo credits) after the jump.

Katherine, who lives with her family in the mountains of North Carolina, curated her own dog blog for a couple of years before joining the Design Milk team. If she ever won the lottery, she’d most definitely spend it all on live music & airfare to New York City. Other interests include craft beer, banjos, books, & BBQ.
