The World of Dogs was developed by Gini Graham Scott, who became fascinated with the way people look like their dogs after attending the Golden Gate Kennel Dog Show in San Francisco in 1992.  Then, a proposal for a book on the subject led to a Web site -- www.doyoulooklikeyourdog.com, which is finally going to be published as a book by Broadway Books, a division of Random House, in January 2004.  Now plans are underway, too, for a TV game and reality show produced by Eleventh Day Entertainment.   Plus this interest has led to several dog related research projects that will be featured on this site -- a study of cops and canines and an exploration of how people who are drawn to different breeds differ in their personality, interests, activities, and lifestyles. 

       Here's a brief bio of Gini Graham Scott:
