New Work from the Canvas Dog Studio in Toronto

Ink Drawing of a Mugz, Yellow Labrador Retriever

This is a tribute to Mugz the Wonder Dog, who died a few months ago, just shy of his 16 years.

This hardy labrador retreiver emigrated all the way from South Africa when he was just a wee thing. Some say that he would be ancient, almost unheard of however I think his strength and vitality is testament to his hardy South African line.

Mugz had four passions. His people, squeaky toys, tennis balls... and water!

I met Mugz a few years ago. Mugz was always full of vim and vigour, a gentle soul always happy to meet you, yet he became a dog with jaws of steel with any ball or squeaky toy.

Although Mugz had arthritis, typical of a dog of his age, it rarely slowed him down. He could almost outrun you at the beach, to claim any toy in sight as his own. Onlookers would shout "Watch out, here comes Mugz!"

Mugz, we all love you and dearly miss you.
