Herman was no ordinary German Shepherd—his family was heartbroken when he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Though his body was weakened by a tough disease, his mind stayed sharp as ever. My own Boxer faced the same battle. To honor Herman, his family commissioned this beautiful oil painting. His mom said I nailed the sparkle in his eyes, capturing Herman’s spirit perfectly. This heartfelt tribute brings a special, joyful presence to their home. As an artist, I’m thrilled to keep Herman’s unique soul alive with every brushstroke.
