Original digital painting, not an altered, manipulated or painted photograph. Hand painted from scratch using Microsoft Paint and a mouse. This is one of a group of 27 dogs that were dumped on our ranch frontage along a state highway. 15 puppies were saved, along with 5 adult dogs. This guy was one of the "fathers"- part Irish Wolfhound, and the sweetest dog you could ever meet. He was adopted by some friends of mine and now lived the life of Riley. They say if they had a million dollars, they could not find or buy a better dog. Success stories are wonderful.
