It is with thanks to Ron Oliver, well known in the dog handling and Agility derby’s.

A chance meeting with him and his large pack of dogs inspired the making of this work.

 Caesar Milan, the Dog whisperer, would be pleased.

Grateful thanks to the "Who Zoo" web site,an ongoing project by

students from the Wesleyan University, Texas,from where the subject was found.

The Blue Tit was a rescued fledgling who became part of the family.

This painting is the result of Jamie Oliver’s television programme concerning pork production, home and abroad, with grave concerns on animal welfare standards.

This painting endorses the message with a positive image:

 Visually stimulating the necessity for wellbeing in all our farming methods and interactions.

Enabling a greater connectivity and compatibility towards

Living things.
