​"  I'm sitting looking at Buddy in pride of place on the wall, photo attached! It is absolutely lovely and it had the desired effect on Steve when he unwrapped - there were tears!!
Everyone that has seen it has said how amazing it is with the amount of fine detail and so Buddy. 

Thank you once again, it is lovely to have a painting of Buddy forever. "
