Erma’s life was a service dog’s life. Originally she was breed at the Bergin Canine University for a life helping someone in need. Now retired at 12 years old she is with a loving family. The husband wanted to surprise his wife with a portrait of Erma so he set the wheels in motion! This was done as a Christmas gift to his wife. The portrait was done in graphite. I love all the curly cues in her ears!
Below is his comment following the gift giving…
Hi Lesley,
She LOVED it! It brought tears, always a good sign.
We have it hanging in a prominent spot where we can always see it. Great job Lesley. It was also good meeting you and your two dogs.
Happy New Year
Chris
