The portrait of Luna, an Imperial Shitzu, was commissioned as a Christmas gift for a couple who had experienced a fire in their home. They self-proclaimed that they would NEVER get a dog, but finally succumbed. Luna provided them with comfort and love during the difficult recovery time. Dogs are great therapists.
As a side note, our family watched the hilarious movie, Best of Show, last night. The Shitzu won first place in its category, and I noticed all the Shitzus had bows exactly like this one.
