Palm Trees and Pooches

A good friend of ours is in Iraq, and actually we all (my roomates and I) collectively have several friends in the middle east, engaging in goodness knows what kind of dangerous activities. I think about those men and women quite a bit. One of our friends has a really cool looking sheppard and I've done a couple quick sketches of him before. This is a palm tree, and the aforementioned pooch.
