In the winter of 2009 - 2010, I was commissioned to paint a picture of Freddy, an FBI dog, who had been killed in service. In preparation for working on the portrait, I was sent a photo of Freddy, but required additional pictures of Belgian Malinois, Freddy's breed, since some details in his photo were unclear and additional photos were unavailable. Searching online, I noticed that Belgian Malinois often are chosen to become Military Working Dogs and police dogs, and began to learn about service animals.
I love all animals and Freddy's story made me cry, but later it made me take action. I decided to paint the portraits of animals that had saved human lives and to then give the paintings to the animal's companion for free. Thus began my Animal Heroes Project.
