My daughter Morgan lost her faithful dog Jack at about 2:30 on the morning of January 18th, 2010. He had canine Hemangiosarcoma, which is a rare, highly invasive cancer which remains hidden and without symptoms until it is too late for treatment. Morgan rescued Jack in Austin in 2000.

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.
