A Picture Paints A Thousand Words…

If you like dogs… and let’s face it, there’s a good chance you do if you’re here looking for your perfect pet portrait, then you’re going to love Tails of the Unexpected… just look at that cover!

A Picture Paints A Thousand Word

Tails of the Unexpected is the hilarious and engaging story of John Donoghue, a military veteran, getting his first ever puppy, Barney, and their bonding process as he takes him on a trip around some of the more bizarre and funny named places in this country.

“There must be more to owning a dog than both of us running after each other to see what the other is eating,” he laments, and we soon discover there is so much more as their joyous partnership develops.

En route to places such as Wetwang, No Place and Pity Me, Donoghue becomes Moses to the canine world and devises ‘The Ten Commandments of Dog’ – essential reading if you want your dog to be a happy hound. But as we all know, rules are made to be broken…

Indispersed with historical facts and trivia, we are also invited to share in the nostalgia of childhood memories and are allowed a rare inside glimpse into life in the armed forces via witty military anecdotes from his varied service around the world in both the Royal Navy and British Army. And there’s more… much more. I could go on, so I will… the top ten Police myths, a bouncing baby hedgehog, perhaps the dumbest bank robber ever… and have you ever heard of the noble sport of mantelpiecing?

This is a treasure trove of a book that gave me so many genuine laugh-out-loud moments… and I don’t mean giggles or smirks, I mean proper belly laughs. The full hierarchy of humour is covered here, from self-deprecating to double entendre with all stops in-between, ably assisted by the real star of the show, Barney.

“A puppy is basically a funny little buddy who always wants to hang around with you,” Donoghue eventually discovers.

There are also some sweet and charming moments in there too as Donoghue struggles to raise his young daughter who he fears is growing up far too fast; something many of us can relate to.

Written in short punchy chapters, this is the ideal book for people who say they don’t read books!

...and on a final note, we find out who really is the Top Dog in the Donoghue/Barney partnership… and I hope our portrait of Barney doesn’t give the game away. Well, they do say a picture paints a thousand words!

Great Gift for anyone!

Great gift for family and/or friends. The quality of the picture is great work whether you go canvas or print. Highly recommended for any pet owner!

Absolutely fantastic

Lovely quality and print went for the A2 of my German shepherds, a real talking point when people come round, one of the prints was cut on arrival, contacted them and it was replaced in a few days. Customer service fantastic 5*

Cats as masters.

The portrait of my wife's cats in the masters outfits was superb. The whole process of downloading photos and ordering was really easy and from ordering to delivery was relatively quick. Would highly recommend.

My Son-In-Law is gonna love it!!!

I perused the numerous pages of options to Portrait My Pet and found the perfect option....the dog riding a motorcycle!!! James is also a motorcycle rider and I know he is going to love it for his birthday!!!

Cat of Thrones

This was a gift to my adult son. He is a lover of Game of Thrones and his cat. "This gift is beyond an A+" he said. Your idea was able to help me send my son an unusual and A+ gift!!!
We both love it!!

Can't wait to see my partners face when she unwraps it on Christmas day.

Fantastic and great quality product. Would highly recommend this website. I love my cat poster, thank you

thank you for letting me see what it would look like beforehand.. and for getting it to me so quickly!! I love it.

Loved our photo and got exactly what we wanted! This was a gift and the recipient is super happy. The owner worked with me and couldn't have been nicer!!

We were under the impression and thought we paid for canvas. We just got a photo on paper. We had it framed and it turned out very nice. I sent two emails about the canvas and heard nothing. Not sure if we would use this site again.

They worked with me to make exactly what I wanted! I'll definitely use them again for any canvas work I need done!

I am extremely thrilled with the portrait.
Excellent quality through and through.
Seller was helpful throughout.
Can't rate highly enough.
