"My career takes me all over the world, and one very special weekend I enjoyed Woofstock in Toronto, Canada. There in a sea of dog lovers and every kind of pooch vendor in the western hemisphere, was Paul Boddum. WOW, there are painters of pets but he is the Michaelango of dog painters. Jesus Salgueiro and I had just adopted T Ron our American Staffordshire Terrier, and he is our child. I commissioned Paul to do his portrait and I must say it's beautiful. We recently built an extraordinary kitchen and Tron's and hopefully Linx, our new addition will hang together. Thank you Paul for capturing the essence of our beloved pet."-Chef Art Smith, Chicago, USA -Best Selling Cookbook Author, and Personal Chef to OPRAH WINFREY,

"Artist Paul Boddum not only remarkably captured the physical likeness of my Giant Schanuzer " IGGY PUP " , he also captured something else in his portrait. It's something intangible; the spirited essence of Iggy's playfulness, something in his character, that as Iggy's owners, we immediately, undeniably recognize. The entire creative process was an amazing, respectful collaboration between us. Run, don't walk to Paul Boddum Studio"

"My husband Graham just gave me the portrait of our dog Miki he commissioned for my 40th birthday. I JUST LOVE IT. I cried and cried – it’s just SO awesome. I saw your work at the one of a kind and have had your postcard on our fridge ever since, thinking one day I would love to get Miki painted. I was so shocked to see this painting sitting in our kitchen tonight! THANK YOU SO MUCH. It is just perfect in everyway. Miki looks just like he always does, and the background – I LOVE IT.You are very talented. THANK YOU for painting a great picture." -Barb Morrison, Toronto

We are planning on having him doing a second painting of our other adorable lab, Sadie."

'I first saw Paul's work on the Internet and automatically decided that I wanted a portrait done of my dog Ruby. I had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised by the process involved. It was exciting to be a part of the work by choosing colours, patterns and sharing ideas. Of course, it's always nice to tell someone all about my dog. Paul showed a genuine interest in painting a portrait that not only reflected Ruby visually but also her personality. The end result was amazing, it's a beautiful portrait. Most importantly I have an original painting of a very special part of my life - Ruby.

"I was strolling through the Distillery Art Show with my black pug Hubble
when we turned a corner and saw "Flowers". Wow! A magnificent purple pug surrounded by colourful blooms, combining my love of black pugs and the colour purple in one painting. I couldn't have commissioned a piece more perfect. It brings a smile to my face every day, just like Hubble." -Kari Measham, owner of WINKLE, Leslieville, Toronto
