Those poor dogs were all raised in cages like chickens, and unfortunately they needed to be brought slowly out of their terrified condition, perhaps with tranquilizers, but definitely with a lot of TLC. There's a time in the youth of all creatures that must be filled with love and respect in order for any basis for future adult bonding to occur. It's true with people, dogs, and all other intelligent beings. Those dogs were orphans when I found them, and all were fully grown and raised without enough human touch. There is quite a bit that I regret about those tattoo projects, being the first to do it all and making mistakes. I wanted so much for it all to be painless and humane, but quite a bit of it was not. Your painting captures the anxiety these dogs felt.Andy Feehanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468298345207635466noreply@blogger.com
