Commenting on the two of books on her website, Betty Jean Lifton wrote, “My silver standard poodle, Jumblie, accompanied me to Japan and wrote “A Dog's Guide To Tokyo”. He wanted to give western dogs a sniff of Japan. "I hope to tease your appetite just enough to make you curious," he wrote. "Give you enough facts to chew on, but leave you still panting for more. Then you will always carry within you the hunger to travel beyond your own backyard…The renowned Japanese photographer, Eikoh Hosoe, shot both “Taka-chan and I” and “A Dog's Guide to Tokyo”. We wanted to know if it was possible to illustrate fantasy with photographs - and it was.”
