A Thank you note from Lori Shray

Dancing Flowers
12"x12"
Original Painting
by Dagger DogVinci
Dear Dagger and Yvonne,
I just received my
or "Dagger Dogvinci" original.
I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival.
It was lovingly packed and upon opening I started crying, It is just so beautiful. I love it so much!. I am just in awe. People can own paintings by famous artists but how many people can honestly say they own a painting by A famous Dog!
I am just full of joy looking at it.
I saw the Shelter Me Program on PBS. It touched my heart and I immediately went to your website and ordered my " Dancing Flowers".
Yvonne what you and Dagger are doing is incredible.
Thank you.
I hope next time I visit Long Island I can meet You and Dagger
at one of your events,
Again thank you so very much. I can't wait to see what else Dagger paints.
Lori M. Shray
Hearing from Forgotten Friends of Long Island
is always such a treat...it makes my tail wag!

"Hi Yvonne,
We are excited about getting the picture. It is actually my Mother's Day gift
from my dog, Lily and my cat, Mo. LilyMo!
We saw the PBS Special and thought we just had to have one..."
Dagger has done another outstanding painting 🙂 I can't wait to show everyone!"
Skye Talkington from Fairview, Oregon
wrote a touching thank you to us on May 5th, 2021
Good morning Yvonne,
Thank you so much! And please give Dagger some well deserved appreciative cuddles as well.
We have received both prints, original painting and accompanying photo, as well as the scarf.
They really are just lovely!
Most everything on our walls was created from someone special or has significant meaning, and we love having his up with them. Attached are a couple photos of the first two prints, as I haven’t decided exactly where to showcase his original. I love that these also represent a bit of the good in society as well, not just for the charity they helped support, but the fact you are there to facilitate this at all. It’s beautiful parts of our world that I’m grateful to see, and be reminded of.
Thank you again, and we’ll be keeping an eye out for new paintings
and ways to share his good deeds
Best,
Skye

I wanted to drop you a quick note and let you know our appreciation
for sending the painting from Dagger.
Very rarely am I speechless, but the joy that I feel when I look at this beautiful painting is fantastic.
Once again, profound thanks from the Purdy's (Lakewood Colorado)
DAVID KIGGINS from Hawaii WROTE ON
APRIL 11,2021:
I just wanted to say the BEST thing about the painting I bought is that THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL STORY BEHIND THE ART. I have a bachelors degree in sculpture/art and also have collected way too much art over the years .
BUT - all my art speaks for the initial look. Finally I have a work of art that has the most meaning and conversational background to be talked about.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY PAINTING BY DAGGER !
Thank you to Koh who is a journalist
& Avid Fan and collector
from South Korea for the wonderful box of toys & goodies and for this great card!!

Dear Yvonne and Dagger,
Sending you both a thank you note, We had such a wonderful time at your “Gimme Shelter” art gallery in Oyster Bay watching you both step out of the limo and onto the red carpet was so much fun.
All of your paintings were so beautiful Dagger and each one was created with love.
You are truly the “do good dog”! We purchased “My Forgotten Friend”...I was so moved by the title and know there was love in every one of your paint strokes. I saw a bird in it and it made me smile.
When we turned it over and saw your paw print and a photo of you painting that actual painting it touched our hearts and we will always treasure it. It is beautiful Dagger and so are you!
We have it on a wall near a photo of our dog Tami who has passed on , we adopted her from a shelter too. We miss her so much so thank you both for everything you do to help those “forgotten friends” , I hope they have found loving homes.
Hope to see you again sometime and take a picture with you as I wasn’t able to that day it was very crowded at the gallery.
Love your uplifting messages of the day so sweet
Thank you both Bless you and your furry friends and family
Have a Happy and Safe Summer - 😊Sandra Drenckhahn
