Avid fans of the hit British television show 'Downton Abbey' will either love or hate the parodical Houndton Tabby series. Although, to feel the latter would mean having a sore sense of humor. Who wouldn't want to see their favorite characters depicted as cats and dogs?
Elegant and dapper, The Houndton Tabby series truly captures the essence of each character from Lady Mary Crawley as a borzoi to Charles Carson as a clumber spaniel and the Dowager Countess of Grantham as a sphynx cat. As though taking a page out of Fido's playbook, the animals really do justice to the look and personality of each actor. They were painted by Kim Parkhurst of the Esty shop toadbriar.
