Lou is thrilled to have won the portrait and decided to have a very special PitBull's Portrait created as a gift!

"The dog's name is Peter - he is a rescue. He lived his first couple of years on the streets. Now he is in a very loving home. My sister went into the shelter and asked for what ever dog has been there the longest ? They both hit lotto that day !!" Lou Page.
