Description:
The Maltese is a small breed of dog in the Toy Group. It descends from dogs originating in the Central Mediterranean Area. The breed name and origins are believed to have been derived from the Mediterranean island nation of Malta; however, the name is sometimes described with reference to the island of Mljet, or a Maltese town called Melita that no longer exists today.
................................................ Maltese dogs are bred to be cuddly companion dogs, and thrive on love and attention. They are extremely lively and playful, and even as a Maltese ages, his energy level and playful demeanor remain fairly constant. They adore humans, and prefer to stay near them. The Maltese is very active within a house, and, preferring enclosed spaces, does very well with small yards. For this reason, the breed also fares well in apartments and townhouses, and is a prized pet of urban dwellers.
................................................ This painting is extremely detailed and was enhanced digitally for a bright colorful effect, and graffiti - as well as symbols of love and relationships with animals - has been added. The style is fun and modern, happy and inviting. Whimsical. ..a signature style for this artist. This little puppy has those great big brown eyes that just make you fall in love with him!
