I bark at dogs

Yes, exactly that: 'I bark at dogs' is what the author confessed to in 'Personal Exposures'(Erwitt, 1988), which I had a pleasure of reading today. 
Can recommend it to everyone, as it's generally pleasing. Meself will be going back to it for sure- funny descriptions and greatly amusing photographs are timeless and make me smile every time ;)

Just check this: 


I bark at dogs. That is why the little dog in one of my photographs has jumped straight up into the air. A lot of people ask about that. Well, I barked. He jumped. I barked. He jumped...

And an example:






Also memorable was this random chapter: 

I'm not interested in landscapes. Just people. I like plastic flowers.

(can't picture this one but I'll post when I find an example)
