TRIBUTE TO JACK: A RESCUE DOG FROM TEXAS
Jack was rescued from a kill shelter in Texas.
My daughter adopted him and discovered he had been abused: he was missing teeth, had battle scars,
heart worms, and a list of neuroses a mile long.
He now lives a life of luxury.
Jack is the iconic American Dog. He's part Dalmatian, English Pointer, Greyhound and Great Dane accidentally molded in to a perfect form. He is an object of beauty and grace, easy on the eyes, and hard on the tender-hearted. My series of paintings called "Jack of Hearts" is dedicated to all essential pets like Jack: you can't breed for them, and money can't buy them. Luck brings them to your door.
