Final Dedication Page Picture -- Taco the Pug with His Favorite Squid Minion

View fullsize

I’ve finished Taco the Pug’s picture to the best of my ability. As I was finishing up the picture, I realized that he was never without his pink squid. The squid was the first of many toys that I bought for him. He had the unusual habit of moving his toys to whatever room he happened to be in. If we were lounging in living room, he would suddenly spring up as if he had forgotten an important task, and run through the house collecting his toys. Once he had them all arranged in a pile, he would sit down and place his long legs on them, as if to say, “These are mine.” He was such a sweet fellow.
