The tale of a white walled apartment, a Bull Terrier and a Sharpie Pen

Just when all it all seemed lost….. BANG!

Every now and then you come across someone who has a way with creating fantasy through some type of spontaneous expression. Recently we found a post with a very unique story and we immediately felt it should be shared with our Dog Loving friends.

You kind of feel bad for this guy who describes a failed love in his life. He’s left alone with nothing in the world except his best friend Jimmy Choo, a white Bull Terrier. This all happens in a white-walled apartment with nothing in it.

It’s hard to imagine how this totally heartbroken soul is suddenly inspired by a muse, and what you’ll see is his “long-dormant inspiration for drawing” plunging into reality.

Can you believe how great these pictures are? If you agree please share.

On my thirtieth birthday, my wife left me. She took her cookware, furniture, photos, her decorations. She left me alone in an empty all-white apartment. The only thing she didn’t take was my bull terrier, whom she’d named after her favorite shoe designer: Jimmy Choo. With only Jimmy for company, I found inspiration in my blank walls and my best friend and started snapping photos of Jimmy Choo as he trotted and cavorted around the house in glee. When Jimmy collapsed in happy exhaustion next to the white wall, I grabbed a marker and drew a new world around his ginger-eared pup.
