Our fave artist, Ron Burns has created yet another masterpiece that tells an amazing story!  Maybe you saw the story on his latest work, Harper, on the Today Show or online.  I am sure you were as compelled by her story as Ron was.  Here is a short video if you don’t know her story:


Following is a brief exerpt from a post on Ron’s website explaining his motivation to paint the pup:
“I have numerous people send me pictures of their dogs to paint, often with hilarious or miraculous stories of their pup’s antics as well as the all too often notification of their loving companion crossing the rainbow bridge.  But when my right-hand person Matt, brought the story of Harper to my attention, well I just couldn’t stop thinking about this little girl.”

“Sure she was as sweet as they come, making me want to paint her for the most simplest of reasons, but then there was the story.  And not just her story, but the story of Erica that knew she needed to give this little helpless puppy just one great night of love and devoted attention prior to euthanasia, to make her feel special while spending her short time on this planet.  Then, miracle of all miracles, Harper returned the love by showing Erica that she wasn’t done yet.  That there wasn’t a good reason to put this pup down, that this pup was staying here with us – you can read their story here.”

Ron has just completed his painting of Harper and it is available for purchase and will benefit Dolly Foundation, a group that rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes homeless, neglected, and abused American Pit Bull Terriers and other bully breed dogs.
