Los Angeles-based illustrator Lili Chin created ‘Dogs Of The World‘, a series of delightful posters featuring more than 200 popular dog breeds grouped by their countries of origin.
Ever wondered where the ancestors of the Golden Retriever, German Shepherd and Corgi hail from? These adorable illustrations offer a fun and unique way to learn more about the various canines and their beginnings.
Now, all we need is just a cat breed series.
