Canine art

Doggie da Vincis paint abstract works of art

Strapped for cash and looking for a way to keep open her fledgling dog-training academy, Mary Stadelbacher hit upon a bizarre fundraising scheme.

If she could teach dogs to become service animals for the disabled - holding open doors and even removing socks for people in wheelchairs - why couldn't she teach them to hold a paintbrush and swab a piece of art?

I wonder if I might be able to convince Max to put down his squeaky toys and pick up a paintbrush. Early retirement here I come!
