Dogs can paint!

Yep that's right, dogs can paint. I did! See that painting on the left? I did that the day before my first Gotcha Day in September 2005.

And there are other dogs that paint - like Tillamook Cheddar, who's paintings fetch thousands of dollars. And the amazing Shore Service Dogs who paint for charity!

We all may have different techniques - from using our paws, to a paintbrush, or just our claws - but the results are beautiful! Your pup can paint up a storm too. Read more and learn how!

The most famous Pawblo Picasso!

Tillamook Cheddar is probably the most famous painting dog on the planet. Her works of art have fetched thousands of dollars, and been shown in galleries all over the World.

Tillie, a Jack Russell terrier and abstract expressionist, is an unusual artist who enjoys chasing squirrels outdoors in Brooklyn, where she lives with her assistant, Bowman Hastie.

This painting (above), entitled "Sunny Day Flesh Wound," is just one of the many paintings Tillie has done since 1999 when she first began painting.

My friends and I love to paint!

At my first Gotcha Day in 2005, I had a huge dog party; with all my friends and family.

We played games, painted, had amazing treats, goodie bags for humans and pups - it was one of the best days of my life!

One of the games we played was dog painting! And my friends and I had a blast. Dog painting is a great activity you can do with your pup, inside or out, or have as a game at your next pawty!

Mozart paints for a cause!

This is Mozart Dane, the Harlequin Haven Great Dane Rescue Spokesdog against puppy mills, pet stores, and homeless dogs. Mozart has dedicated his life to this cause and in doing so creates art by painting with his paws to raise money for his charity.

Painting also helps him overcome his pain of his early days in a puppy mill and also helps with bringing awareness to his causes.

Here is just one of Mozart's many paintings, entittled "Daf-Mo-dils."

See his other work, it's fantastic!
