Jackie Clark Mancuso is an artist from Los Angeles. While drawing dogs in Luxembourg Gardens during a Paris sojourn, she was inspired to write and paint her first children’s book, the delightful Paris-Chien: Adventures of an Ex-pat Dog. Before that she was a book designer and art director. Jackie is nearly finished with Hudson’s next adventure, which we simply can’t wait to get our hands on! Check out Jackie’s wonderful illustration for this issue of Modern Dog on page 50.

Dr. Peter Dobias is known for his fresh, innovative, holistic approach to veterinary medicine and animal healing. He has over 25 years of experience in both conventional and alternative veterinary medicine. We’re super down with his belief that medical knowledge should be available to anyone who needs it, for free. On page 68, Dr. Dobias applies his healing system based on natural principles to explain how your dog’s itching may have a cause you’ve overlooked.

The lovely Grace Chon is a photographer specializing in animals, lifestyle images, and celebrities with their pets, making her the perfect choice for this issue’s shoot with dog- loving TOMS philanthropist power couple Blake and Heather Mycoskie (page 102).
