- Artist Amos Sewell, when asked what breed of dog Shorty is, said he guessed maybe the pup was half German shepherd, half chow, but he wouldn’t bet on it. Sewell’s theory about this pleasant scene is that Shorty was adopted, not purchased; his previous home probably having been one of the SPCA’s shelters for homeless dogs. Shorty will hereafter have two homes, the big house where his favorite human beings live, and his own house, where he can retire when he wishes to be quite alone for unhundreded rest or meditation. This blessing, enjoyed by many dogs, perhaps originated the phrase “lucky dog.” If Shorty should turn out to be somewhat great Dane, those carpenters will have to raise the roof and change the name to Tally.
