'One of the Lucky Ones'


It's always a welcome relief to see a happy dog these days. Clearly there are far too many stories of animal abuse. If I could, I would make it so that every animal would have a safe and happy life. People who abuse animals would cease to exist.
As you know there is over breeding of dogs worldwide, and one industry that is guilty of this is greyhound racing. There are more dogs than good homes and this means that thousands of greyhounds are killed every year. I will never understand how anyone could condone an activity knowing that these gentle dogs are discarded like rotten tomatoes....

This painting shows what Greyhounds love to do: lie in the 'roach' position. All the better in the sunshine! Oil on gallery wrap canvas 8" x 16".
