The smart Portuguese water dog Doormat

The Portuguese Water Dog was originally bred to be a fishing dog. They would herd schools of fish into nets, retrieve broken nets and tackle, and act as couriers, delivering messages from ship to ship and ship to shore. The friendly and playful Portuguese Water Dog is very smart and well-known as a breed that's great for people with allergies to hair or dander. The dog's coat comes in two varieties: curly or wavy. In this illustration, the coat is formed by the letters H2O, which is the formula for water. The colours used are the red, green, and yellow present in the flag of Portugal, in addition to black, which is a frequent colour on the Portuguese Water Dog. This illustration pays tribute to one of the best-known Portuguese dog breeds and will please people who own a dog of this breed or are that are welcoming one -or more! - into their lives.
