You have lots of puppies to hug!

It’s just a black drawing pencil and a white chalk pencil.

12. So lovely!

Not sure everyone who read this had the wonderful coincidence of seeing your drawing immediately after reading the research that teens who kiss their dogs and whose dogs kiss them have better mental health and social well being. https://www.democraticunderground.com/1161103798

The emotion in her face as she hugs her dog is beautifully captured, Diamond Dog.
