My wife Martha is also a painter. In this piece Martha portrays our 13-year old American Bulldog, Brindle, on duty as a perimeter guard dog. Even though Brindle is the equivalent age of a 90-year old human and weary to the bone, she is nevertheless ready to spring into action and engage any bad guy who might intrude into her turf. The town we live in has a very low crime rate so there really aren't any bad guys to chomp. A human security guard would get lazy and sloppy under these circumstances. Brindle however is cut from a different bolt of cloth. She sleeps with one eye open and every waking moment is spent patrolling. It is fair to say that she has a perfect work ethic, proof that humans aren't necessarily the most evolved species on the planet.
