On August 31, 2011 a woman in Sanford, Florida, first encountered Harper when she spotted a squirming garbage bag. There was a man outside a Save-A-Lot selling Pit Bull puppies. This woman approached him and noticed a noise coming from a garbage bag he was holding. She asked him, ‘What’s in the bag?’ and he said, ‘Don’t worry about it.’ The woman pressed the issue and the man gave her the bag. Inside was a puppy so deformed that it couldn’t walk or hold up its head. Shelter workers and veterinarians grimaced when they saw the dog and came to the same conclusion: She really should be euthanized.
That’s when Dolly’s Foundation stepped in. Erica decided to take the puppy home for one full and final day of unabashed affection. She had to show her what it was like to be loved. She’d planned on taking Harper home that night, letting her sleep in their bed, and having her humanely euthanized in the morning.
Erica massaged Harper’s tight muscles, hoping to alleviate some of her stiffness and pain. Within just a few hours, Harper started lifting her head and looking around. Her front legs became more limber as well, so much so that she tried using them to walk and pull herself around...
Until September 11, 2001 I was content painting the dogs and cats I met at shelters from around the country as well as commissioned works for collectors. However, on that morning, after going on a morning run I returned to the tragic news that we are now all so familiar with.
As I watched the events unfold I saw the story of Sirius, the explosive-detection dog that lost his life in Tower II. I had this overwhelming feeling to reach out to David Lim and do something to try and ease his pain. I searched the internet for a contact and actually found an email address for him and thought I would give it a try. It worked. We connected and David was kind enough to share stories and pictures of Sirius with me. I could tell they truly loved and watched out for each other. And that is how I came to paint Sirius.
As I began to better understand the role Sirius played at the World Trade Center, my curiosity got the best of me wanting to know more about the dogs that were committing their lives towards the devastation and so dedicated to us humans. So I went to the people I knew, at the ASPCA and The HSUS, asking for any information they might have. The next thing I knew I was flying to the ASPCA in NYC to meet with a group of pet therapy dogs and their handlers, taking photos and getting to know their stories. On the following pages you will be able to read their stories and even hear in the words of Rachel McPherson, Founder of The Good Dog Foundation, how her dog Fidel made the emotional trips to Ground Zero and to the Pier 94 Family Assistance Center. You will also get to see their photos and the paintings I later created. They all worked tirelessly giving of themselves to the families, firefighters, rescue workers and support groups. It was a moving and humbling experience to be in a room, surrounded by such great dogs...

“I believe that Wall-E is still with us for a certain purpose, and that purpose is threefold – that through his "tail" of miraculous survival, he is here to help his fellow four-legged friends, to remind us all of the importance of animal adoption and to stress the necessity of local spay and neuter programs. If through my art, I am able to help deliver Wall-E’s message and speak on behalf of those that cannot, then I have done my job as an artist and advocate for all animals.”
– Artist, Ron Burns
Wall-E’s “tail” is one of miraculous survival; the type of story that, despite our petty and not-so-petty differences, unites us all by a common thread – our adoration and love for man’s best friend.
The now-famous pup had been attempted to be euthanized twice on February 18th, 2011 - once through a vein in his leg and once through his chest cavity. In spite of the fact that the staff veterninarian could no longer hear or feel a pulse from the second attempt, Wall-E was found alive the following morning by a shelter volunteer. He wasn't suffering - just hungry.
His story became a viral sensation - an international news hit that took Wall-E all the way from a small town in Oklahoma to New York City for an appearance on CBS's Good Morning America. The pup that had a few days earlier sat in front of a grocery store adoption event in hopes of being adopted unsuccessfully was now the most sought-after pet adoption in America.
Ron was asked to complete a portrait of Wall-E to support the building of a brand new shelter facility - the Murray County Animal Shelter in Davis, Oklahoma - and how could he say no? “In capturing Wall-E’s personality I decided to portray him in his forever home, relaxing on his favorite chair with a pillow that conveys his big heart and love for life. Next to him is a bouquet, again representing a “beautiful life”, with a shamrock arranged above his head to symbolize his good luck as well as the real shamrock-like image on his behind”...
An open edition and limited edition print are now available for purchase to support the building of The Murray County Animal Shelter. Click each link for more information

20th ANNIVERSARY RETROSPECTIVE UPDATE + NEW PRINTS
3 / 22 / 2011
Henry
Good Morning
2011 marks the 20th anniversary of Ron's professional career as an artist and philanthropist. Throughout the year, Ron will be chronicling his journey starting with his early years as well as hand-picking and releasing a series of works that have never before been available as archival giclees on paper and canvas. To learn more about Ron's journey as an artist and philanthropist, please click here to read the 20th Anniversary Retrospective.
Once again, welcome to my 20 year retrospect. If you’ve been following along, you have probably already read about my background and the first three years of painting. Well I am glad to say we are now releasing the next three years. It is taking me far longer than I would have ever imagined going back and piecing together what I have been doing for the past 20 years. Some memories have been great, some sad and other things are completely gone. Like images of some of the paintings that were sold before I took a photograph, or I took a photo but never wrote down the year, name, or size of the piece. And then trying to remember what I did in a particular year, “let's see was that in 94 or 95 that I started reading the Artists Way, went to Paris, took Rufus to the coast....” Well, please take a read and see how the next three years unfolded. I hope you enjoy it - and do shoot me a comment or question, and if my memory serves me well, I will get back to you with an answer.

RON RECEIVES ZAZZLE ARTIST AWARD FOR CHARITY STAMP
2 / 22 /11
Ron's philanthropic efforts certainly do not go unnoticed. We just received word that Ron has received a Zazzle Artist Award for his charity postage stamp Do It For Love , a joint-program with The Humane Society of the United States to support Spay/Neuter initiatives!
"Why should everyone spay or neuter their pets? For love! It's better for your pet, and it's an important way to help stamp out pet overpopulation. Send the spay/neuter message throughout the year with "Do It For Love" postage.
20% of the sale of all HSUS products (HSUS' total net proceeds) goes to support the programs of The Humane Society of the United States."
20th ANNIVERSARY RETROSPECTIVE AND PRINT COLLECTION
2 / 2 /11
2011 marks the 20th anniversary of Ron's professional career as an artist and philanthropist. Throughout the year, Ron will be chronicling his journey starting with his early years and 1991 - 1993 as well as hand-picking and releasing a series of works that have never before been available as archival giclees on paper and canvas. To learn more about Ron's journey as an artist and philanthropist, please click here to read the 20th Anniversary Retrospective.
"When I picked up a paint brush and created my first work of art, I had no idea the path I was headed down and where it would take me. On this webpage, I will reflect on that journey, as an artist and philanthropist along with those pivotal points that shaped my life. I will also start each year with several memorable happenings throughout our world that quite possibly affected us all. I believe all artists pull from the various incidences that inspire, motivate or move them in order to create the works of art we see.
In viewing the following pages I trust that collectors, artist and curious
by-passers alike will garner a few tid-bits from the artworld of Ron Burns.

Ron has a handful of pieces being featured at the Museum of Arts and Sciences exhibition Woof! Art of the Dog in Daytona Beach, FL. If you are in the area, be sure to stop by and check out the exhibition! Here's what MOAS had to say about the event...
Ever seen a dog smile, admire the seemingly-simplistic artistry of a photograph of dogs at play or of dog behavior that is close to human? For these fun and fascinating facts of life, come to our latest exhibit. Contemporary portraits of dogs of all sizes, shapes and breeds celebrated through paintings. These pieces will enliven the Museum’s Entry Court in this family friendly exhibit.
The third week of September is National Flower Week and because a vase of flowers has become a trademark in so many notable Burns pieces, your collectors can “say it with flowers” for the entire month – literally!
Purchase any Burns “flower” piece shown on this page, and you will receive a free bouquet of flowers at your doorstep along with a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted flower and personalization by Ron on the original or limited edition of their choice.
Our first monthly promotion has been rolling along, but it expires at the end of August! With our announcement last week about payment plans, we had multiple people asking if they could combine our payment plan option with our August promo. The answer is a resounding YES!
So, let's revisit both promotions!
In the August promo, when you buy any of Ron's vehicle pieces, you can get a second piece for just 66% of the retail price. That's 34% off your second piece!
Then, we are also offering those long term planners, the opportunity to purchase on a payment plan for up to 4 months! That means you can just split up the total into four equal payments or less.

In something completely new from Ron, we're announcing Rufus ABC's... it's a series of 26 pieces, all hand painted, each one with a different theme to coordinate with a letter of the alphabet. But, there's only one of each, so pick your favorite letter, your initials, or just your favorite image, but pick quick before someone gets your letter!
So, click here to go browse through the options and to read more about the series and special promotions!
Rufus was the first piece ever painted by Ron and to this day - the original is still hanging in his home where it will forever remain in Ron’s personal collection. Rufus also provided the inspiration for Ron’s book Rufus Rhymes. We have a very limited number of these hand-signed and numbered lithographs remaining and once they are gone, they are gone for good. This is your opportunity to own a piece of Burns’ history!

BURNSIFY YOUR FIREFOX BROWSER
3 / 25 / 2010
If you have the most recent version of the Firefox browser (which can be download here), you may have noticed a nifty, new little feature called "Personas." Persona's are basically a way to personalize the look of your browser window so instead of looking at a plain and boring grey background -- you can now have an image of anything you want. We've created a few Burns personas that are available NOW to use. These are completely free (and of course, very colorful).
To get a Burns persona, click here. Once you've found the one you like the best, all you have to do is click "Wear It" and you are done. Enjoy!

Win a Ron Burns' Super Bowl Limited Edition
To commemorate the biggest game of the year, Ron will be giving away a Super Bowl limited edition to one lucky winner!
I want to give a shout out to the fifth grade class of Carolyn Fritz for their incredible dog paintings. Ms Fritz is an elementary school art teacher in the San Juan Unified School District which is in the Sacramento, CA area. She used my art as inspiration for her class to create these remarkable paintings. Your talent inspires me. Way to go kids!
Thank You,
Ron
A very big "Thanks" to Terri and the wonderful staff at Two Plates Full for a great booksigning and for using our Furever Homes Raffle Program. I stayed an extra hour signing books with a percentage going to help r.e.s.c.u.e.. Over $1000.00 was raised to help find furever homes.
One lucky winner received their choice of any Burns limited edition valued at $2000. And three runner's up won a $100 gift certificate.
