Ancestor Pet Portraits

Valerie Leonard Makes Your Pooches Look Princely

Valerie Leonard paints these quirky animal ancestor pet portraits. Anyone can photoshop a dog's head onto an ancient piece of artwork, the difference is that Valerie Leonard does it seamlessly. The coloring and angles all match up to a perfect tee.

Leonard also offers the option of getting your princely looking pooch on customized Christmas and greeting cards as well.

This is a wicked gift for pet lovers or dog obsessed friends.

Implications - My favorite of these canine creations has got to be the one featuring a pair of suitted-up dogs who are ready to spend the night on the town. Look how suave they look with wine glasses in hand. I don't even care about the fact that the feat is practically impossible because they don't have opposable thumbs.
