Throughout the ages, people have claimed dogs as their closest friends. Dogs serve many roles - protector, helper, lifesaver, and companion. They are incredible friends to people and have been for centuries. 

Dogs and people began living together over 15,000 years ago when dogs followed the human migration throughout East Asia. 

Despite sharing 99% of their DNA with wolves, domestic dogs have evolved to be remarkably different. They are not just social pack animals but also thrive on attention and affection, making them the perfect candidate for a human's best friend.

As dogs have become domesticated, they have come to rely on us for survival. In turn, we find that we need them just as much. This mutual dependence has fostered a symbiotic relationship, with most dog owners considering their pets as family members. A faithful dog at home provides us with a listening ear, a warm paw to hold, and even strong legs to run beside.

Dogs have proven themselves time and again to be loyal, kind, understanding, and have an indomitable spirit. They greet us happily after what may have been the worst day of our lives and make us feel better with a wag of their tail and a playful grin.

Whether they're herding sheep, hunting game, supporting people with disabilities, or simply acting as a companion unlike any other, dogs help humans with day-to-day tasks, many of which may not be possible without them.

Bill Bell

Bill Bell, a native of Philadelphia, is a self-taught artist who turned to painting full-time in 1982 following a successful career as a musician and record company executive. For Bill, painting is more than a profession—it’s a joyful obsession. “It is also my fun, therapy, and challenge,” he says. Working primarily in vibrant acrylics, Bill creates intricate, visually rich compositions inspired by the people, pets, memories, and dreams that have shaped his life. His imaginative work has reached a broad audience, including you, through its reproduction on prints, posters, greeting cards, T-shirts, puzzles, children’s books, album covers, and collectible plates for the Franklin Mint.

Central to Bill’s artistic voice is his whimsical depiction of both human and animal activity in lively, often absurd scenarios. He populates each piece with layers of action and detail, encouraging the viewer to dive deep into the narrative unfolding across the canvas. “I paint nostalgia and nonsense,” he explains. “Nostalgia for the world that used to be and nonsense for the world of my dreams.” His paintings are not just joyful celebrations of the ordinary and the surreal but also delightful entertainments, seamlessly blending warmth and wit with playful storytelling.

Bill’s art reflects his boundless curiosity and delight in the world’s oddities. Through his unique lens, everyday moments are transformed into vibrant spectacles filled with humor, heart, and a touch of the fantastical. His work continues to charm and inspire audiences of all ages, inviting them to find magic in the details and joy in the unexpected.
