A chocolate labrador named Milly was my first 'Enlightened Dog'. Milly is owned by the actor Michael Vartan, of 'Alias' fame, and his mother, Doris, came up with the idea that Milly was 'Enlightened,' and ordered a couple for Michael for Christmas, 2007. Since then, many dogs have been Zen Dogs or Dharma Dogs, but Milly was number one! I still give Milly to new artists to see how well they can paint.
There's something about a Chocolate Lab in a chair! The painting above is by Amar, and belongs to Michael Vartan. However, many Milly's are still available:
Above is a serious Milly by Sanjib Rana.
And Dilip weighs in with his version. Where's the chair?
And Hari's work is always fun to see.
The above is Milly by Nara.
And another by the incomparable Sabala. But Milly is not the only chocolate lab that's a Danger Dog:
This dog, Grace, is so special, she has a furniture shop named after her. (Grace Home Furnishings in Brentwood, California -- and she's in all the print ads too!) Her portrait above is by Sabala.
And again we have the beautiful Enlightened Milly. By Punam.
All paintings featured today are available except the first and last one. And every Danger Dog has a story. For more info, please go to NepalDog.com or contact me at
