We've all heard about elephants painting on canvas, and monkeys painting stuff too. Well, now you can buy "art" created from a dog's nose.

Oscar, a Schnauzer, loves to use his nose to smudge and smear up car windows. Actually, my beagle does this a lot! Well, Oscar's owner, Sondra Raines decided to capture some of his artistic expressions on print, and sell them as note cards.

The idea came to Raines two years ago. Oscar, then 11 years old, was afflicted with valley fever and almost died. He underwent two years of treatment before he was fully well again. Realizing that Oscar did not have much time left, Raines decided to color-enhance and market Oscar's drawings as note cards so as to preserve Oscar's legacy, and use part of the proceeds to benefit the Arizona Humane Society.

According to Raines, Oscar finds inspiration is great many ways. "Oscar's artistic renderings reflect his emotions at the time. "Fire Hydrant Fusion" was drawn during a trip to the vet, while "Dog Dreams" was created during a drive through Old Town Scottsdale with the convertible top down."
