Harvey is a Great Dane. And a very great one at that. He is the biggest dog in Barbados and was the winner of the Hope Dog Rescue Sanctuary 'Best Legs' at their 'Mr Barkbados 2006' competition. Unfortunately he didn't manage to take the Mr Barkbados crown - his little brother snatched that from him!
Harvey likes 3 things in life. Food, Sleep and MUD! It's now rainy season in Barbados and Harvey has rediscovered his fave way to spend the morning, dashing through the flowerbeds, covering those giant paws in mud, and then depositing it everywhere he goes.
So - here is a one off chance to win your very own absolutely UNIQUE piece of mud art from Harvey.
If anyone is mad enough to bid on this auction I will put down a piece of white paper for Harvey after his morning flowerbed excursion and he will produce a unique piece of 'art' for you.
If you are mad enough to bid.... anything you bid will be converted to Barbados dollars and donated to our local dog sanctuary 'The Hope' - which cares for many strays and unwanted pets over here and does an amazing job.
If Harvey is lucky enough to win the Tazbar prize for the Zaniest auction - that will be donated too!
Some examples of previous works include
mud on concrete
paws in the builders sand
abstract paws, tail and legs on mums brand new stone tiles
And... incase you want to see him - the artist himself! Harvey the Giant Dane
as a puppy, earning his keep and doing a bit of modelling for an advertising shoot
relaxing after a hard day!
This item is listed as part of a competition on the Tazbar forums. But if you do want to bid, Harvey is more than happy to create a special piece of art just for you. I have no idea what it will look like! Or whether it will coordinate with the decor in your home. However it's going to be brown mud (plus or minus a bit of sand and grass) on white paper if that helps.
Any money arrising from this zany auction will be donated to The Hope Dog Sanctuary in Barbados!
