    About this ebook

    Despite all the visual distractions of the digital age, one low-tech form of mass communication remains as popular as ever: the lost pet poster. Stapled to telephone poles and bulletin boards in cities and suburbs worldwide, these often hastily made signs are quirky combinations of hand-drawn illustration, emotional longing, and surprisingly offbeat humor. For more than a decade, artist and animal lover Ian Phillips collected lost and found pet posters from around the world.

    LOST features the most notable selections from Phillips's collection chosen for their cleverness, humor, sorrow, entreaties, rewards, and—in several instances—sheer outlandishness. Featuring a veritable Noah's ark of animals—from everyday pets such as dog, cats, hamsters, and turtles to more unusual companions, including ferrets, parrots, cows, and cockatiels—these remarkable posters are their own form of folk art. Telling tales of friendship, loss, and hope, they are a powerful testament to the love and devotion shared by pet owners everywhere.

    I write poems and short stories - I have also just started on that formidable journey of creating a novel. It is going to be a painful process as I dig up many characters that I had placed within very deep graves a long time ago. I live in France, I am a father, a husband, a musician and a footballer. I play guitar and I write music - well, I've written two songs and just like Kylie, I just can't get them outta my head. My new novel will be completed in a matter of years.
