Do
you think a dog can draw a picture? It¡¯s hard to imagine, right? Surprisingly, however, there
really is a dog that can paint! A 3-year-old dog named Ziggy loves
painting. He lives in California with his owner Elizabeth Monacelli.
This amazing dog is the smallestartist in the world!
¡°My dog began painting about 3 years ago after I encouraged him to
pick up a paintbrush,¡± said Elizabeth.
¡°Ziggy is a ¡®true¡¯ artist.¡± He usually paints for about
20 minutes at a time. Then, he sits
in front of his painting
and wags his tail as if he admires his own work.
Ziggy¡¯s paintings will even be displayed at art shows in
many cities in October. On June 19, his original paintings will be auctioned off in LA. Elizabeth
will donate the money to an animal
rescue center.
