Comments on: Hounds Of Hackney Downs https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/09/13/hounds-of-hackney-downs/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 13 Sep 2021 18:30:46 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: mlaiuppa https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/09/13/hounds-of-hackney-downs/#comment-1408656 Mon, 13 Sep 2021 18:30:46 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=188597#comment-1408656 Tessa Hunkin is a master and a national treasure. I hope she is acknowledged for her outstanding work and contributions.

I would love for Diana pawPrints and Freyja Grey to be immortalized but they have no right to be hanging on a wall in Hackney Downs as neither they nor I are ever likely to go there let alone live there. But if I did, I wouldn’t hesitate to have all of my current and past dogs immortalized.

Now….where are the cats?

Bonnie made me go “ahhhhh – what a sweetie!”, Dora is really cute, Huxley made me laugh and Reggie and Rocket look like really tough guys but probably have hearts of gold.

And looking closely I see that lots of the dogs have very small bits of white mosaic in their eyes which makes all the difference I bringing them to life.

Brilliant work yet again – well done to Tessa and her team!
