All done in acrylic paint. Some of them have textures add from paper but it is all on acrylic and canvas. I love dogs of all kinds! I also have a very trippy imagination, I think the two make a very nice combo haha. Why dogs for my imagery? Easy.
Unlike your friends, your dog is not going to cancel accompanying you for a jog around the park. Research has shown that dog owners, have greater self-esteem, tend to be less lonely and are less fearful. Perfect, for those living alone, dogs not only keep them company they smother them with affection. It has also recently been proven that dogs love us back. Scientists in California found that domesticated animals release the "love hormone" oxytocin in intimate situations, just like humans.
Oxytocin is the hormone that make us feel connected and form close bonds in relationships. This was detected when pets interacted with their owners. Burns Pet Nutrition sponsors an organization that helps young children learn to read with the help of their canine companion, the READ program. There’s been a significant amount of evidence to show that children reading to their four legged friends can have a beneficial impact on their literacy, development and confidence.
If you have ever seen a dog chase a spider around the room or his own tail for hours, then you will understand this point. If you haven’t, you are missing out. Dogs and their little quirks are so funny to watch. Dog owners are guaranteed to receive an over excited welcome home every night. Even more so than from our partners and families, dogs are always unashamedly, over-excited to greet you when you get home after a long day.
Everyone knows the stereotype that dogs hassle the postman and bark whenever the door goes. But these habits demonstrate what great protectors they are. This can be annoying but it also makes them great security guards. No burglar is going to get into a dog owners house without the whole street knowing about it. Dogs are companionable and affectionate, anyone who doesn’t like living by themselves or feels lonely, will always have a friend and company if they have a dog.
They’re such personalities and are a real presence in a home that may have felt empty before. Dogs are also a great way to meet people, any dog owner knows that it’s the easiest conversation starter. Neighbors, strangers, fellow dog owners, everyone wants to make friends when you have a lovely dog to talk about. If you have a dog, you may have felt that they can tell when you’re upset.
They change, if they’re always over- excited and needy, they usually become notably calmer. It was recently affirmed that dogs process emotional sounds in the same way as humans. So the brain of a dog reacts in the same way as the human brain when they hear distress, like crying. They can be very comforting in a crisis.
