The Doggie Diner Head (affectionately known as "DD") featured in my paintings currently used to live in my neighborhood, at the corner of Sloat Boulevard and 46th Avenue, across from the San Francisco Zoo. He blessed the Carousel Restaurant, which used to be a Doggie Diner. On April 1, 2001 an ill wind blew the Doggie over, smashing nose-first into Sloat Blvd. The San Francisco Department of Public Works fixed him, using one of the Emeryville Doggies as a guide. The Sloat Doggie will be restored to his spot across from the Zoo on June 30th. 2001.

The latest show of Doggie Diner paintings was on Thurs., May 31st, 2001, at the Canvas. Check out the fun - click here. There will be another Doggie show in a year or so - check with the Canvas for updates.
