Henry, a Boxer, by the fire in the cottage

A Boxer at rest is a rare thing, and a lovely one. Here is Henry, warm by the stove in a country cottage, keeping an eye on the room.

What Henry does

Henry lies on a soft rug in front of the wood-burning stove. He looks round at the flames, settles back, gives a long, lazy yawn and tilts his head as if he's just heard his name.

The film loops, so when it reaches the end it flows straight back to the start. Left playing on a TV or a photo frame, Henry simply carries on keeping the room company.

The portrait chosen

We made three portraits of Henry in the cottage, and this was the one most like him. Only once it was chosen did we bring it to life. Every order works the same way: you see your dog's portraits first, and you choose.

A Boxer of your own?

Boxers come in so many looks: fawn or brindle, with a white chest or a white blaze, a dark mask, ears natural or cropped. Tell us what makes yours theirs, and send a photo from the side and one of their face. We'll make three portraits for you to choose from before anything is brought to life.
