I Don't See A Dog; You See A Dog?

This picture I thought would go well with the title of this blog post and the subject material. And, my service dog happens to be a pit and one of my favorite breeds of dogs.  Bella is very friendly, devoted, and a wonderful I want to please you and do for you type of dog.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm definitely going to the dogs.  Some of the dog art I found I just absolutely positively had to share with you.  I hope you like dogs, or at least don't mind dogs in art.

Some of the art is stunning, unusual, unique, cleaver, ole, new, unconventional, and worth the time to see and appreciate.  I even found a movie which I thought was befitting a place here because of the title and also because we did some movie editing as a class project.  I thought some of the shots and angles were interesting because of the way you saw people.  The close ups were very close up and personal for example.  Enough about the movie, we'll get to that later.  Here are links, information, and pictures of dogs art and variety.

    I thought this was a nice mosaic with great detail and of course it is art and it has a dog.

    The cat and dog pics I couldn't resist because they have some of my favorite colors and I have cats and dogs so what better way to end this blog; than with dogs and cats.
    Oh! you wanted to see the movie I was telling you about earlier.  Actually it is about the title of the movie or was there more to this information?  Take a look and you'll see.  Moving images and this course have a have made me more aware of of details and the techniques necessary to put together a movie.  Time for a break, relax and enjoy.
    http://www.artofthetitle.com/2008/04/17/reserv oir-dogs/ just to remind you:
    because of the title, the movie  editing project & i thought this would   be interesting__computer stalled, so I'll have to try to finish watching this later.  If I'm unable to see the rest of the production, would someone please tell me all about it when you've finished watching, thank you.
