Dogupations VI: Butt Sniffing Dog

Sixth in the groundbreaking new series of dogupation paintings: dogs providing vital services--the kinds of jobs cats just won't do. Without a thought for personal safety or the hazards of secondhand smoke the butt sniffing dog heroically performs his assigned duties. That big bear with the shovel and mountie hat? Highly overrated.

Old School All Stars


Eugene "Bearfoot" LaCroix. Over shadowed for most of his career by that other Native American player, Bearfoot held the single quarter rushing record in the old Rust Belt Division. While there have been many barefoot kickers in the league LaCroix was the only barefoot full back. While some say he was unable to find cleats wide enough to fit, Eugene claimed to like the feel of the sod beneath his feet.
