"I actually cried. It looks exactly like her."

Our story

You know they are not "just a dog." Neither was Lola.

Like you, Lucy looked at her rescue dog and saw family, not a pet. So she began drawing Lola: the markings, the expression, the look only she had. Andy turned those drawings into embroidery. Months later, CNN came calling. We still make every portrait to order in our Cambridge workshop, like it is the only one that matters, because to you, it is.
