Artist, Sarah Theophilus’ distinctive style as well as her passion for dogs take the contemporary approach to the tradition of pet portraits much further. Her dog paintings capture the candid, the intense, and the more quirky nature of our beloved companions. Her art can be seen at Pet Portraits in Pastel.

The Bulldog, also known as the English Bulldog or British Bulldog is a medium-sized breed that originated from England. The bulldog is stocky and has a compact body with short, sturdy limbs. Its shape results in a peculiarly unique gait. Bulldogs are known for their short muzzles and the saggy skin on their faces, creating the apparent "frown" that has become a trademark of the breed. Bulldogs come in a variety of colors and have a smooth, short coat. They are generally docile, friendly and gregarious but are known to be fiercely loyal as well. Breeders have succeeded in breeding the aggression out of bulldogs, and thus the dog is known to have a good temperament. They can be so attached to home and family that they will not venture out of the yard without a human companion. Due to their friendly nature, bulldogs are known for getting along well with children, and any house-broken pet in general. Because of its tenacity, the bulldog is a symbol of England and is a popular mascot of American universities as well.
