Animals have a significant impact on people, and there is no more remarkable act bigger than adopting an animal that deserves nothing but a loving home and a caring family. It is no wonder today's pet parents love to celebrate their pets in various ways and would like someone to create a work of art featuring their furbabies.
Harshita Gakkhar, aka TheDoodleDidi, based in Jaipur, India, specializes in pet portraits in watercolours. She aims to capture the sweet bond between pets and their family members with her realistic pet portraits. Harshita is genuinely passionate about her art and the beautiful pets she is commissioned to paint. She is always thrilled to hear about each pet's unique stories.
THE NUT PACK STORY
Sidharth and Shivani were both fond of dogs. When their moment came, they started looking to adopt a dog. They did not want to take the breeder route as they refused to look at it as a commercial commodity being traded. They firmly believe in adoption human kids or dogs. Walnut was a homebred puppy housed by a family who didn't have the time for his care and attention. After a few video calls and conducting some word-ofmouth background checks, they were chosen as the new family for Walnut. At 14 months, Walnut was the most playful little sweetheart he stole their hearts on his first walk home.
After a year with him, they felt ready to adopt another dog. They started looking to adopt and had their hearts broken with a couple of rejections in the final moments, and after four months, they got a call. Donut came home! He came with a considerable stash of belongings that took two days to find space to store. Donut was a scrawny little pampered pup that would never get tired, and between Walnut and two humans, he outdid them all with his puppy-power energy.
