Painterly Pet Portraits

Right?  Sure, I know what you're thinking-- "NO!  Not right.  My pet is irreplacable and has a completely individual personality!  I could not have the same relationship with any other pet."  And you know what, that's true!  We love our pets and they love us, forming a bond over time that cannot be the same between any other two creatures.  All across the world this is true.  It is what makes a pet.  Whether you own a pet in Russia or the United States, China or Brazil, a pet is a pet is a pet.  Special always.
