Dopey
Dog Artworks was named for its founder and resident artist,
da Moose.
Da
Moose's early life is shrouded in mystery. Nothing is known
of the years before he was adopted from
Basset Rescue Of Old Dominion
(BROOD) in 1999 at
the age of five.
In
midlife, Moose became a unique character, with a particular
fondness for puppies, frocks and pearls, not to mention polly
ticks.
Surprisingly, da Moose became a VP candidate in the ill-fated
and scandal-ridden Dopeycrat campaign of 2000.
Even
while he was "on the lamb" after inadvertently attempting
to steal the election, he was made King of the Mishgun
Basset Rescue Waddle
in 2001. Three years later in an odd turn of events,
he became Kween of the Mishgun Waddle.
Moose's
artistic skills didn't surface until early in 2002 and since
then, his masterpieces have been purchased
by avid collectors
worldwide.
Moreover,
Moose has been very active supporting rescue organizations, and he
has helped raise thousands of dollars for basset rescue organizations
all over North America. |
