combing through the sneak peek archive, it was hard not notice a pet theme. it’s not surprising homeowners gave their pets a starring role – a 4-legged member of the family can really make a home. so indulge me, as we look back on sneak peek dogs. (do you even know how hard to refrain from dog puns right now?!). and for cat lovers, don’t worry. i’ve got you covered too. soon. promise. -amy a.

Best Sneak Peek Best of Ever!
I have angst over getting a new couch since my pooch likes to lick the ratty imitation leather one I have now… splotches of dark, I’m not sure what she would do to a nice couch!
This is absolutely delightful! I think I may have squealed with glee a few times!
pups! they are the charmers of every home decor photo i find, so naturally this post has me smiling. i was also delighted to watch the awesome “man shops globe” and see an episode dedicated to dogs. keith has a duo of pembroke welsh corgis – the same breed as our darling dog napoleon :)
xo,

All the rooms look better for their doggy inhabitants – I looked at every single photo and it’s Monday morning!
Inanimate objects can be lovely, but a well-loved animal truly turns a place into a home.
Adorable! I always like a room better with a pup or 2 or 3 in it!
OMG what a great post Amy. I LOVE it. Super-fantastic idea.
aww I loved that!!!
Those are some stylish doggies!
next: best of cats? (please?)
best ever =)
my favorite post ever!
Great post today at GrassRootsModern of doggie silhouettes.
While house hunting, I immediately wanted to look at properties that put dogs in their listing photos – whether or not it met any of our search criteria. Ah, puppy love.
I’m really loving the ‘best of sneak peeks’ series! The pups are so fun!
i love this! who says you can’t have a beautiful home with dogs running around?! one of my fave d*s posts of all time ;]
I always get so excited when dogs show up in the sneak peeks! And they are all such good posers. CUTE stuff;)
Eeeee! I loved this!
You’re gonna do cats next, right? Right?!?!
These furry friends really add to the character and homeyness of the shots. Great choice in models!
Best. Post. EVER. This made me so happy!! Thank you! :D
Homes are so much better with dogs! Great post.
awesome! thank you for making me smile.
loooves!!!
Wow cowhide must be a major trend! It’s a lovely addition to the rooms along with the dogs!
When I shoot locations for my site, I love when dogs or cats place themselves in the picture. Owners are always shooing them away and I always say, No! Please, I love to have dogs in the pictures on my site. They warm it up and give it life. I am always amazed at how some dogs follow me from room to room posing so perfectly. Leave it to you guys to appreciate it!
love it!
Que hermoso! :)
This site makes me happy every day, and especially today. There aren’t many things that rank higher on my list than cute dogs in beautiful homes. Thanks!
What’s the deal lately with all the animal-skin rugs? Am i crazy, or are they everywhere you look these days? Hope this isn’t becoming the next ‘in’ thing.
every picture through this gallery made me smile. thank you for that. :)
LOVE all Sneak Peeks with dogs in them. You didn’t show the one with the Border Terrier! I can’t remember whose it was tho…
All of these dogs are beautiful!!! And the owners are fab for including them in the shots!
I love this! Pets really make a house a home! Can we get a Kitty sneak peek please?
I think dogs give life to a home Loved all you have presented I have a Jack Russell and he has special places in our house
I adore this post! LOVE IT!
I love this post!
elvis is my favorite…I love dogs sitting with their heads tipped, like “hey, yeah, I’m cute. so?”
Squealing and “ahhh”-ing ensued while I was viewing this post. Hear, hear to the best ever vote! Yeah for doggies!
O Gosh! Love all these pics. The look of love on all their faces just put a big smile on my face! Thank you :)
seeing the extremely cute dogs and then all the cowhides made me feel lucky for the dogs…and feel really sad for the cows. would any of the cowhide owners have dog hides on their floors? what’s the difference, really? might as well add a few cat-hide pillows, a puppy-ear ottoman, canary-head garlands draped over a lampshade made from the skins of baby seals. seriously, isn’t there enough cruelty in the world? i don’t care how good it looks or feels. try a little compassion in your design choices next time, eh?
laurie mee’s pup wally looks so much like our pupper bindi lou here in the deep south of edenton nc. all those dogs were so cute! Thnaks!
hi mimi! :)

this is just awesome! makes me want to have Chiqui go through a photo session when our renovations are done. :)
possibly the best blog post ever!
dog lover, i don’t think that cow hides are the same as fur coats etc. because if i’m not mistaken the hides are used after cow is killed for meat and so even i am a vegetarian and i don’t approve killing of animals, if the animal is killed for food and then the rest of it is used for something else, it is only good as there is no waste. killing animal only for decoration purposes is indeed murder
Can’t believe i never saw this before. My yorkie and i just love it.
Pfft, so where are all the loose dog fur, mummified chewing bones and cotton from the broken plush toys? You’re leaving important essentials off from the pictures. Surely homes can be decorated nicely despite you have a dog, but at least make the pictures look more realistic and not so dreamy. Many dog owners will have their dreams crushed if they believe those sofas, armchairs and beds to stay hairless or as cleaned and made as they are in the pics.

i think most people reading understand that people style and clean for photoshoots. if they didn’t, the commenters would trash them for being messy. believe me, after 8 years of moderating comments on a daily basis i can guarantee you WAY more people complain about messy or non-styled rooms than ones that are cleaned up ;)

Love love love this! I have a goldendoodle, Willow, and she is my heart! :)
Oh my gosh, so cute! I love this compilation and am looking forward to the cat post!
