Definitely would love to have one done with my fluffy goldendoodle, Lunabelle! She looks like a muppet in real life; I'd love to see what Chelsey did with an illustration!

Amazing! I would either pick one of my mom and I, or of our dog Louie. He's half boston terrier/ half pug. We are working on a future craft business so this would be wonderful!

I wold want to surprise my boyfriend with an illustration of our dog Hank who recently went through an illness and died. I bet Chelsey's illustration would capture that playful naughty Boston Terrier expression perfectly.
