About the Work

What do dogs love more than a romp on the beach and who let them out? What brings a smile to everyone’s face more than cute playful dogs? Here we have many breeds to discover and delight. They can be solace for the soul – faithful, loyal joyous companions, non-judgemental and playful members of the family.

They are in various colours to reflect their personalities, each with their own collar and nametag. We have Poppy the Poodle, Josie the Greyhound, Mia the Maltese, Leonardo the hound, among many other breeds. Look for your own pooch or your favourite.

During COVID-19 lockdowns, more dogs were purchased than at any other time as they provide such joy, but sadly since owners are now allowed to travel again, many dogs are ending up in the pound.

About the Artist

Art forARTsake are Yanni Van Zijl and Pam Walpole, who collaborate to bring art to the people in public places. They choose sites where people don’t always expect to see art – on the beaches, at a mall, in a bushland setting – to reinforce their message to their stand for the environment. Sometimes it is just for the sake of art, a way to bring joy.
