Later this week our newest foster dog will be joining our motley crew. Hopper was rescued from the shelter after being picked up as a stray by animal control. He's a handsome chocolate tricolor Rat Terrier who is about 1-2 years old and our guess at his weight is about 12 pounds.

We don't know a lot about him yet, but can't wait to get to know him!

Hopper was named for the American artist Edward Hopper who was best known for his spare oil paintings portraying Hopper's view of urban life. He also painted in watercolor and was a print maker and in his early career made a living creating illustrations and cover art for magazines to make ends meet.

Hopper and his wife, Josephine Nivison bequeathed their entire collection of over 3,000 works to the Whitney Museum of American Art. His pieces are also held by New York's Museum of Modern Art, The Des Moines Art Center, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
