🐾 Have your pup featured in a live pawtrait at Dog Night this Saturday! We’re excited to welcome Brooklyn-based illustrator and pet pawtrait artist Sophie Furman to Dog Night on Saturday, June 13, in Central Park!

Bring your pup for the chance to be featured in one of Sophie’s live drawings during the event. Sophie’s work spans children’s books, publications, nonprofits, and pet portrait events across New York City, with a focus on joyful, inclusive storytelling.

Keep an eye out for Sophie throughout the evening! 👀 Guests are welcome to stop by, say hello, and watch her sketch the pups around her—you might even walk away with a free drawing of your pup!
