R.I.P. Zak! A photoshop digital painting of my grandfathers old Alsation Zak. He was a guard dog, yet his bark was much worse than his bite, he was such a big softy.

I've noticed that you're very good at drawing animals. [emoticon] That's nifty. I really love the emotion in this pic, too. I'm a sucker for animals. R.I.P, Zak!

You're welcome. [emoticon] And if you can draw animals this well, then I'm sure you'll have no problem in improving on people. I'm with ya! *hands you a cookie* and so are sugary baked products! xD

Aww he's so cute! Doesn't look like he would actually bite somebody. [emoticon] You must love animals very much if you can show so much emotion in his eyes. I don't think I'd be able to do that quite as good. Wonderful job. [emoticon]

Poor thing. [emoticon] He sounds alot like my art teacher's dog.*grins* She loves eating stuff I'm afraid. Luckily doesn't grind stones but alot of paper, rubber, wook bark and generally ruining other people's stuff. [emoticon] I loved playing with her alot. [emoticon] Unfortunately I don't have any animals, if I could have one though, I think I'd like to have a german shepherd like her. [emoticon] I'm so wih you, I hate seeing animals hurt, especially being abused.><
