THE HUMAN ELEMENT
Mary Stadelbacher, president of Shore Service Dogs in Maryland, says that people seem especially taken with dogs that can paint because they seem closer to being human. "The whole concept that a dog could hold a paintbrush and go to an easel is what humanizes it for them," Stadelbacher says. "We can relate to that more than paws going across paper."
