Let Us Now Praise Famous Dogs

Today is National Dog Day. Although, if you want to be exact, every day is National Dog Day. Cat owners may disagree. They celebrate National Cat Day every day. Oh, well.

In any case, we are honored to celebrate such an important milestone in pet history by admiring some nifty canines who have made an appearance in the history of art. The minute someone learned how to do it, humans started painting dogs. (Cats too, settle down). You can draw them here too.
