Documented book

The Australian publisher lists Working Dogs: Through the lens of love & duty as a 232-page hardback published in August 2026. Its description places Fabiano’s photographs across several roles, including sled teams, farm work, therapy settings and rescue contexts. This is publisher-supplied information about the book’s scope, not an inspected roster of every dog featured.

A broad view of work

The book’s described range is useful for a working-dog library because agricultural labour is presented alongside other human-and-dog relationships. Keep those roles distinct when discussing an image. A therapy setting, avalanche-rescue account and sheep-farm scene should not be assigned one shared certification or interpreted as interchangeable evidence of professional status.

Read captions as evidence

For research on a featured team, identify the image’s caption, date, place and named organisation before linking it to other records. The photographer’s account and a responsible organisation’s service record answer different questions. Do not infer deployment history, current handler ownership or the effect of a dog’s work from a promotional description alone.

Use authorised sources

The publisher’s page provides the verified bibliographic starting point and author context. This reference profile does not reproduce the photographs, assess the entire book or make the publisher’s promotional praise into an independent award claim. Consult the actual publication for detailed content and obtain rights for any image use. Confirm current editions through the publisher rather than treating a saved sales listing as permanent availability.
