Description
I was trying to think of ways I could pay tribute to my beloved dog. He was such a character. He had the best facial expressions I've ever seen on a dog. From a big wide toothy grin to a goofy slack tongue'd stare, Nanook always knew how to make me smile or make my anger at something else subside. I don't know how I'm going to cope without him.So in honor of him, I made this piece based on a scene from All Dogs Go to Heaven where Charlie pops out of the clouds at the end. I've never really tried to draw Nanook as a character before, but he has a lot of details. His fur on his head is more salt and peppery than the rest of him. his little whiskerdots at his muzzle were in a line like that. he wore a collar with a blue bone tag on it and his nose had a large pink stripe on it.
This doesn't begin to even scratch the surface of how much he was a part of my life, but I hope that it even makes a noticeable movement in the ache my heart feels some time soon.

Poor precious Nanook.
I live by a major U.S. highway so I lose pets all the time

I'm so sorry for your loss. My dog currently has cancer and I've lost a puppy so I completely understand how you feel. I don't think I'd be this brave though. Dogs are truly mans best friend.

My dog Reilly died not too long ago. We couldn't afford to treat him so we had to put him down. He was only 4 years old. God I loved that dog.

That's a really sweet idea. It always makes me cry when a beloved animal passes away, no matter if it was my own or somebody else's.

This is very sweet- I'm sorry for your loss; it's always hard to lose a pet, especially when you've had such a bond with it. Hope you'll feel better. You'll always have the memories you shared with him, and one day, you'll both be reunited across the Rainbow Bridge

We lost our Corgi, Avalon in August after she had surgery. Dad felt like he couldn't live on without her and couldn't stand the misery knowing that she was gone out of his life. He couldn't wait anymore and that's how we got Morgan, our male Corgi. We know how it feels to lose a furry friend.

The ONLY bad part about owning a great dog is that they have such short life spans compared to their human families. I'm sorry he had to leave you.
This makes for a fun and cheerful piece of work though. It feels good to draw pets you've loved and lost, it brings back a lot of good memories.

I am very sorry for your loss... My dear friend and probably the closest thing I'll have to a child was lost about four months ago. I'm sure he's much more peaceful now.

Cool to know the spelling and awesome meaning, however she probably spelt her dog's name that way on purpose s Sorry for my random comment btw! <;} ^_^;;;;
Nanook123, I feel extremely sad for you! I know how it feels to loose plenty (too many to name here) So my warmest s and I hope you feel better soon! Superb tribute to your cute dog too! <=]

Can't help but feel that it's somewhat insensitive to correct the spelling of a name, especially given the situation and reason behind this art.
Unnecessary comment :/
