Willing the Wonder Dog – The Laughing Cavalier

Willing the Wonder-Dog, an amazing three legged dog, is the perfect contender for this painting by Frans Hals called “The Laughing Cavalier.” This friendly Pit Bull rescue dog laughs in the face of adversity. He is a therapy dog with a sense of humor that can put a smile on even the most grumpy of all grouches! Enjoy the following article written by Willing himself (with a little help from mommy and me) and find out a little about what therapy dogs do (& dog doo)…

Look everypawdy! The Renaissance Pet did my portrait! Isn’t it pawsome? Mommy wuvs it! She said it makes her giggle!

Mommy says I’m perfectly imperfect and she wouldn’t change a thing. If I wasn’t born deformed my breeder wouldn’t have brought me to mommy’s vet for euthanasia when I was 8 weeks old!!! Fortunately I’ve been with mommy ever since and just turned 9 years old in March. I was born deformed, my left hind leg is twisted up behind me which is now amputated. My other leg is a peg leg and my spine and tail are fused (does that make me a three legged dog or a two legged dog??). I also have elbow dysplasia in both front legs , and I don’t know when I poop, LOL. I do pretty good just by staying on a feeding/pooping schedule. For the love of God don’t let me get off my schedule though!

I lives a happy life with 2 other dogs (all victorian pet portraits or rott/pit mixes). I can run up and down steps and jump on the couch, I just do it a little differently than other dogs!

Reading Hour with Willing

In June I passed my victorian pet portraits evaluation at the advanced level and also earned my CGC (victorian pet portraits)!! I now visit a local rehabilitation center for seniors once a week and a medical needs daycare as well as a local elementary school for the literacy program! I love my hour of being read to by so many wonderful children! I also volunteer with victorian pet portraits at many community events, helping to spread the word not only about Paws and victorian pet portraits, but also the truth about pit bulls – we make wonderful therapy dogs!

This was awesome! I’ve been in love with Willing the Wonder Dog ever since I saw a post of him a while ago. His courage, his spunky personality, his handsome face captured my heart. He’s one of the little angels with fur.

Great fit and super comfy

String broke and far had a bit small

Just right. Not to large

Nice size, perfect for travel. Fun colors that blend well with my wardrobe. Very well made.

My very first impression was the pungent odor that came from the wallet. It was like new car smell on steroids. It's mostly gone by now, but it was incredibly strong when I first opened the box. The pockets for cards are very tight. I suppose that's a good thing in the long run but it makes it a bit difficult to get cards in and out. I like that there's a separator for cash and receipts or whatever else you'd want to put in there.

My husband was constantly using rubber bands to keep his wallet closed so I looked for a good solution for him and found it in this wallet! Bought it for Christmas and he was thrilled. The leather and craftsmanship is beautiful. I will continue to buy this style for him in future.

I've seen this item reviewed side-by-side against knock-off copies. Check out the review on "Vivian Tries" and decide for yourself. No question the original "Comfy" justifies spending a few more dollars. Definitely a high quality item!

Wonderful fit feel and look

Bought these because I have a big ol head so finding glasses and hats isn't as simple as just getting any kind at the store that look nice. No, a regular pair of glasses bend outward towards my ears and the frame is never wide enough for my big ol face and I look rediculous.

I needed something to keep that big sun out of my eyes while I drive, but I also gotta look normal. And I know what you're thinking, "WolfWhistle, put aluminum foil over your eyes ya dingus!"
Well all I gotta say is don't call me a dingus please, my dad was a dingus and I take offense to that. Also, I tried the aluminum foil and it worked but only for blocking out the sun.

Now since I had already blown my fortunes on aluminum foil and Tina's microwavable burritos, I bought these with the last 10.99 I had.

They're exactly what they're advertised as: xl wide frame sunglasses. They're almost costume quality, they're very tinted, not aluminum foil tinted, but you can't have the best of both worlds unfortunately.

You can put keys on it.

It is WAY to small! The latch doesnt work half the time and the material is cheap. Very disappointed.

Love them. Comfort, fit.

Looks great but smells bad for st least a couple of days

I ordered the navy blue and the bow tie was navy blue but the suspenders were like a royal blue. This is very upsetting as I have prom in 2 days!!

I look good in these glasses. Prompt delivery.

Wallet is not that great for the price

Excellent

Nice cap!

perfect for my daughter

Extremely disappointed in the quality of this hat. Threw it away and bought a Carhartt and there is a world of difference. Don't waste your $ on this.

What can you say about socks? Good for the money.

My dad loved these!

I wear a 32-32 or 33-32. I ordered a 34-30 because of reviews and they fit good.

I love these socks they fit perfect for me! I do have a wide and chubby foot and I was surprised that they didnt over stretch! I normally have to size up on my shoes so my foot can fit and these socks are perfectly snug! I love how the back of the heel has a non slip clear silicon grip so they wont roll underneath your foot.

Exactly what I was looking for. They attach over the back of the temple and the length of the cord is adjustable.

Having just been a victim of identity theft, I was looking for a small card holder. This holds my driver's license and 3 main credit cards with room for another. Plus, there is room for a reasonable amount of cash. And it looks great.

No se puede cambiar la hora pero esta bien para una nia

Cute little wallet! Got here super fast!!! Whatever credit cards I decide to carry will be in this. Well worth the price.

Dont waste your money on these, they are terribly cheap and the necks lose their shape after a single wash.

I literally received these less than a week ago, washed them with the hopes theyd shrink a bit, and was disappointed to see the neck come out of the dryer wavy and not laying flat on every one of the six that came in the package.

Ive worn Haynes v-necks forever and should have stuck with what I know. Oh well, at least I can make a bunch of shop rags out of these now.

Love this bag. Its perfect size for me. Fits full size wallet and some essentials. Looks very classy and the material feels like a real safiano leather. Very expensive looking bag. Cant believe I paid 15$ for this.
