There’s nothing else to call it but a one-dog show.
Long Island’s celebrated four-legged artist and philanthropist, Dagger II — aka DogVinci — is set for a solo gallery show Saturday in Oyster Bay featuring 40 of his original paintings. Sales are to benefit the Babylon Animal Shelter, said his owner, muse and chief tummy-rubber, Yvonne Dagger of Massapequa.
Cameras will also be rolling that night, as Dagger is to be featured in an upcoming episode of “Shelter Me,” a series on ShelterMe.tv telling uplifting stories on shelter animals and the people — in this case, canines — who help them. The episode is planned to air in the fall on local PBS channels 13 and 21, Yvonne Dagger said.
And, yes, on Saturday the dog of the hour, sporting a white bow tie and his signature red beret, can be expected to leap from a stretch limo onto a red carpet leading into the gallery as a violinist plays.
That’s just a bit of fun, his mom said, as the main initiative is serious — bringing attention to animals who are not so fortunate.
The hope is for a clean sweep of sold paintings, with framed Dagger originals ranging in price from $225 to $350. All proceeds will benefit the shelter in West Babylon, which will display its own images in the gallery, photos of 40 dogs of varying ages in need of forever homes with good families, Yvonne Dagger said. Volunteers will also be on hand to discuss adoption opportunities.
The gallery show, “Gimme Shelter,” is free and runs from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday at Long Island Picture Frame & Art Gallery in Oyster Bay. Art and animal lovers can also bid before 8 p.m. Friday on one Dagger original featured on the ShelterMe.tv website.
