Meet Bob, Vertical’s spokespup and the star of our latest release Cute Dogs: Craft Your Own Pooches!  A pea-sized Boston Terrier, Bob loves to romp and hang-out on dressers and desks.  Always the charmer, Bob is equally welcome in the home or office, and he never turns down an opportunity to play dress up.

Bob is just one of the many miniature pooches waiting for you in Cute Dogs. Each of the sixteen featured popular breeds is rendered with tremendous care by master crafter Chie Hayano.  Packed with full color images, detailed instructions, and helpful pointers, Cute Dogs will have you making your favorite pooch in no time. With a little of ingenuity, a sewing kit, and some faux fur, Bob and his canine colleagues will be making their way from bookshelves into your heart!
