Dueling Dogs - Miami Mutts

Dog stores often times have some cool graffiti murals, but this one is pretty awesome.

The D.O.G. store in Miami has some of the coolest dog themed murals anywhere.  The D.O.G. building shows dogs up on the 2nd level catching graffiti tags, breaking into the building, and even flying off with balloons.

This paint job was very well done.  Hate to say it, but if these dueling dog murals were a contest that Miami might win over Los Angeles!

Dueling Dogs - Los Angeles

LA has its own awesome doggie graffiti murals.  Like this one on PetPros.  Any dog lover will love the fido's pictured on here, and check out the decorative layered stencil technique, which is something many street artists are currently doing.

In Los Feliz.

Animal Activists (and Mutts) Against Mitt Romney

It might be a good idea for dogs to invest in this year's political process.  Obama famously selected a family dog through suggestions from the public once elected, while Mitt Romney has been criticized for his judgement in strapping his dog to the roof of his car for a day of driving to go on vacation.

There are a bunch of animal supporting bumper stickers on the back of this car near Melrose.  One says 'Mutts Against Mitt' (Romney), another reads, 'Cats nap.  Only Humans put them "to sleep"', some pit bull best friend stickers, and even some home made signs taped on that say 'Stop Slaughtering Us'.

The animal loving owner of the car was actually sitting in the car while we took photos, and as we walked by she eagerly asked if we like them.  We do.  And the world would be better if more people were kinder and properly took care of animals.

Graffiti Dogs are just like Graffiti Dudes

This is Otis, and Otis is the shop dog at 33rd Third graffiti shop.

It was amusing to see how Otis behaved much like a graffiti writer and he wanted to challenge Shasta and try to punk her to see how she would take it and if she would back down . . .

. . . but you can't punk a Queen Bitch.

Shasta is Old School, and she has been around long enough to know that if you play it cool and keep doing your thing, that the ones trying to test you will eventually run themselves out of steam.  Sometimes they might even come over onto your team.  And then, you get back to doing your thing . . .

Mean Fucking Dogs!

Pitbulls should never be banned, but God damn, this was one of the scariest dogs we have seen in awhile.

The orange dog would bark fiercely at the fence, and then turn on the white dog start biting and attacking it.  Crazy.  And what made it so frightening is that the orange dog was jumping at the back fence and looking like it could almost make it over.  Yikes.

Shasta was like WTF?

Anyway, the dogs must have been inside while the side of the back garage got painted with CBH.

Who Said Dogs Can't Talk!

Pets Are Not the Answer (But They are Better Than People!)

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

Great shot of Qtip in front of a new politically charged street art.

Do Everything in Love

The writing says 'Do Everything in Love' but the dog in the picture is baring his teeth at Shasta.

The eye stencil is from a different artist and was added after.

Swoe and Angry Guard Dogs

Swoe put up a couple graffiti pieces in an abandoned domicile.

When we came over to snap the shot, a homeless guy had set up camp, and his dog wanted to kill Shasta . . .

Qtip Meets a Dog Near Alec

We set Qtip up on this box to take a picture with a fresh new Monopoly Man spray painted piece by Alec.

But she saw a pug she wanted to meet so she hopped off the box. As you can see, Qtip is not shy around canines.

Pink and Purple Dog

Such a cutie.

Er, I'm looking at the dog . . . yeah right~
