Young puppies wake up ready for another day of discovery. They tumble over each other during morning playtime, their tiny paws scrambling across floors and yards. When their owners clip on leashes, the puppies bound outside for walks, sniffing everything from fire hydrants to fallen leaves. Back home, they attack food bowls with enthusiasm, then curl up in sunny spots for long naps. Between meals and rest, they chase toys, explore corners, and wrestle with their siblings. Seth Casteel's photographs freeze these moments of pure puppy energy and innocence. Each image shows the simple joy that drives these young dogs through their days. The book celebrates the unbridled happiness that makes puppies so beloved.
