According to the Chinese zodiac 16th February will mark the start of The Year of Dog.

Penovac is world-wide renown for his paintings of black cats that you can see here and here.

What may be less known is his obvious love for dogs. He has 3 dogs so he is intimately acquainted with the nature of ’man’s best friends’.

Although simplification is very important in Endre’s art he is able to capture perfectly the true identity of dogs. He brings them to life with his breathtaking technique in these pencil drawings, watercolor and ink paintings.

His dogs so instinctively and lovingly stroked that you can feel their wet noses, the softness of their messy fur and the warmth of their bodies just by looking at them.

He has prints and originals available through Saatchi Art.

Some of these look like my first dog. It was hard to tell sometimes whether she was an animal, a wayward clump of hair, or a mop of some sort. I loved that dog a lot.

And China will begin the celebration of the year of the dog as they do every OTHER year...by eating the dog. DISGUSTING! (sorry, it just had to be said) #hypocrites

It is sad but true... The fact is that, some cultures view the consumption of dog meat as part of their traditional cuisine, while other cultures consider consumption of dog meat a taboo, although they have been consumed in the past too. Let's go back to our main topic: The Dogs are man's best friends... :)

You are right Lyonne :) the original title of the post written by us was: Welcoming the Year of Dog. A Puli can't be gloomy at all.
