:) I love that title! :P
Christie's, you know the big art auction house, is having a big sale on dog art... Yep, paintings of dogs... And you can pick up one for as much as $1.2 million. You read that right.
"Neptune" is a portrait of a Newfoundland dog by Sir Edwin Landseer. It's life-size, and could be sold for between $800 000 and $1.2 mill. (Lucky dog! My parents lab would never sell for that much ;) )
Incidentally, Suzy saw a photo of it, and loved it (she's an artist), so that's got to count for something.
Read more about it here.
It's not a dog... but here's a pig origami.
