This poor dog has a name which dosent suit his personality at all. He is a very sweet dog that loves a good pat but is unfortunately quite ill. He could’nt even sit up for long has he would grow tired quicky. Managed to squeeze out some quick portraits before he got too tired. Click on any for a larger pic.

It seems his condition deteriorated very fast yesterday morning. Even with his ‘mom’ there he refused to eat and could barely walk. The painful decision to euthanise him was made that afternoon. I am sad to see such a gentle dog have to suffer and go this way but at least now he is in a much better place.
I have one last picture of him to share, Its a colour portrait along with a pastel rendition that my girlfiend drew. She has kindly given her ‘mom’ the pastel drawing.
Thank you all for your support, donations and kind words.
And i seem to like b/w alot these few days…
