One Lucky Dog

In the early morning hours of April 7, 2007, the Jacksonville Humane Society suffered a stunning loss, soon witnessed by a disbelieving news audience across the nation. A fire that started in the laundry area engulfed the animal shelter leaving it in ruin, and claiming the lives of 67 cats or kittens and 18 dogs or puppies.

"When I saw the news images of that shelter in flames, my heart just broke - for the animals and for the volunteers and staff who give so much of themselves," says Burns. "I feel honored to be able to use my artwork to help rebuild this special place for the dogs and cats of Jacksonville."

A Golden Retriever mix puppy appropriately named Lucky is pictured in Ron’s fine art portrait slobbering out the window of a fire truck.  Beyond simply rescuing Lucky from the flames, the fire fighters also ended up adopting him.  Lucky, the vivacious Golden Retriever, has more than an awesome portrait now, he also has a wonderful home.  This limited edition fire truck and dog portrait is available in two sizes, please see details below.
