Sammy's Muttsterpieces

Sammy is one talented service dog. In addition to helping people in need, he has learned to paint! His paintings are used as a fundraising tool for Shore Service Dogs. His muttsterpieces fetch up to $1,700! Sammy was a stray mutt, but was taken in by Shore Service Dogs, where he received extensive training. His handler says that it was pretty easy to teach him to paint because he was so receptive to commands after his service training.

Sammy was on the Today show...but didn't do a whole lot of painting. Between falling asleep and chasing Al Roker, he did hit the canvas a few times. But he didn't drop the brush once!

It is what is on the inside that counts

This poor guy, ET, has been called Britain's Ugliest Mutt. He has been stuck in a shelter for three months because everyone seems to judge him on his looks. The folks at the shelter say that he has a great personality and temperment, but just doesn't look like most dogs. In fact, one shelter worker even said that ET probably thinks that the other dogs are funny looking!

ET would be great for someone who has allergies or doesn't like vacuuming because he is practically hairless. Though he does require suntan lotion in the summer!

I think that ET's unique looks make him extra special. Either way, it is what is on the inside that counts.
