13 of the fastest dog breeds in the world in stylish portraits from a photographer from London (14 photos)

London-based photographer Alexander Khokhlov’s project “Fast & Curious” is a series of portraits in which representatives of the fastest dog breeds turn into racers.





We invite you to admire these emotional beauties before they run away from the frame. At the same time, we will find out which breed is the fastest and what speed it develops.
