He – or is it a she – is a Dalmatian and
the dog does have spots, but certainly
some of our uniformly above-average
youngsters in Wake Forest can find a
more creative name than Spot.
Children up to 12 are being
asked for their suggestions to name the
dog portrait that has a place of honor
at the Wake Forest Fire Department
Station #1 on East Elm Avenue. Dick
Larsen painted the portrait, one in a
series of dogs, and donated it to the
department. The firefighters came up
with the idea of a dog-naming contest.
The entries will be accepted
through Tuesday, Jan. 16, after which a
committee from the fire department will
read them, judge them and declare a
winner. Children can leave their entries
at the fire station, at the Blue Fins
Bistro and at The Cotton Company. Or you
can enter online at Larsen’s web site,
www.dicklarsenart.com. Click on the
dog portraits button and the Dalmatian
icon, then scroll down to the comment
box to enter your favorite dog name
along with your name, address and
telephone number.
The winner will be announced
at a formal unveiling of the portrait. |
