The Planking Beagle

This is a portrait I did a month ago for someone's birthday. The dog "Rufus" is a Beagle who's only a couple of years old. He has an odd quirk, that when a jacket was placed on him to keep him warm, he froze up instead and wouldn't do more than blink an eye. He could be picked up and placed on the table and would remain in a rigid position, stiff like a plank of wood.

Which brings me to think of that other famous beagle, Snoopy, who is jokingly dubbed the real, original planker if you remember the comics and that planking debacle earlier this year.

So this portrait is Rufus, wearing a jacket, and going Snoopy style.
