"Portrait of Boetie" - Oil Painting by

Oils on canvas 40 × 40cm

Boetie, my little darling. When he looks at me like that, I will give him the world.

Yes… he is the boss of us.

Boetie is a rescued doggy. We got him when he was 8 months old so his first few months were a nightmare. He was born on a ‘puppy farm’ and it took us a very long time before he trusted us. So, he is a doggy with ‘issues’ which only makes him more treasured.

A real little character, terribly spoilt and probably the only Irish dog that only understand Afrikaans!!
