The beautiful and talented  Moira McLaughlin’s blog Dogs Art Today turns two!! Her blog is amazing, and I highly recommend it to any and ALL dog lovers and lover of the arts in general.

In honor of the birthday  she has a “gift for one lucky reader, a Valentino Pug poster.  This amazing prize was generously donated by the producers of Valentino: The Last Emperor, a documentary directed by Matt Tyrnauer that follows the Italian designer for the final two years of his celebrated career.  The film is also billed as a love story about Valentino and his business partner of 50 years, Giancarlo Giammetti.  And, from what I can tell, it is also a story about two men and their love for their five Pugs who jet around the world with them as one big glamorous happy family.

This poster is now a rare collector’s item as they were initially distributed for publicity purposes only, and now have been discontinued.  I think it is a magnificent combination of art, beauty, fashion, history, and dog love.”  <excerp from Dog Art Today>
