Van Gogh, the one-eared dog, is as much an artist as the artist he is named after. For four months, the boxer and pit bull were listed as available, but the rescue service he worked for didn’t receive a single call. So Jacqueline Gartner came up with the idea of letting her paint.

This led him to discover new hobbies and a new home. The money raised for the Van Gogh painting will go towards saving Jacqueline’s animals, as well as helping other dogs find a home.
