Picture of the Day
Dogs of War
Acrylic on Kodak paper pre-mounted on Foamcore, 2' x 2'
$400 plus shipping
I'd watched a very powerful video about the training of dogs used for war, not as attack animals but for protecting troops, following trails, warning of impending attack. In WW2 and Korean War many dogs served with our armed forces. The documentary included interviews with veterans who told stories of many dogs who saved soldiers' lives, dogs who gave their lives for the best friends, and the dogs that had to be left behind when the war ended. This picture attempts to capture the haunted feeling I was left with as I reflected on the dogs of war.

In loving memory of those who did what they needed to do... people and the animals too.
