About
The Draw the Dog team (l to r): Bruce Kasanoff, Hadley, Dakota, Dex, and Jim George
Member of the press? Here’s more information for you.
Welcome to the happiest “Spot” on the Web! We post a new cartoon every day, except for Sunday, when we rest.
Jim
Of course, left to his own devices, Jim would almost certainly run out of good ideas shortly before global warming turns Las Vegas into a waterfront resort, so the whole idea – one might say the beauty and wonder underlying it – of this site is that most cartoons are inspired by real life dogs and their real life antics.
Jim draws the cartoons; Bruce Kasanoff does everything else. This is because Bruce can’t draw and Jim doesn’t want to do anything else.
Make your dog famous. Or maybe infamous.
Bruce
You can do this here. Or here. (Same place – didn’t want you to miss it.)
If Jim is inspired by your story, we will write “inspired by (your dog’s name) in (your town and state) above the resulting cartoon, so be sure to tell us – you guessed it – your dog’s name and where you live. Please don’t get upset if you see a cartoon of a dog digging through the garbage and you think, “Hey! I sent Jim a story about my dog digging through the garbage!” Dogs like that sort of thing.
The details count. Take the story about the two Great Danes who ended up on the roof of a porch, after one of them opened the screen on a second story window… yes, we are definitely talking about you, Dusty and Dixie. We get stories about two Great Danes on the roof, well, occasionally. But it was the plight of the owner trying to tell the fire department what happened that shifted this story into overdrive.
By the way, don’t worry about the humor or artwork; that’s Jim’s job. You just tell us what actually happened, and he’ll do the rest.

Can’t tell you enough how much I enjoy receiving my cartoon every day. I’ve sent your link to several friends who now too are enjoying their morning smile. One I believe immediately sent you a long letter about her dog Emma!
I’m a Pet First-Aid & CPR Instructor and happy to say that many students (as well as myself) have had wonderful success stories over the years of helping their animals. Have you done any pet safety-type cartoons? I’d love to know as I’m constantly doing power point lectures and writing articles and might be able to use such a piece.
Best wishes for a bow wow wonderful new year!
Thanks for your kind words – no pet safety cartoons so far. Most fall into the opposite category!
Love Gargas today!! Thanks for using a Greyhound.. made my day!
THANK YOU!!!! As our numerous Cairn Terrier rescue members will attest, being owned by a Cairn Terrier (aka “Toto”) is a blessed life. I can’t imagine living without a Cairn in my life, as they are so full of themselves and fill our lives so fully. Thanks so much for featuring a Cairn Terrier. Your website is “Toto-lly” cool.

Bruce — can you send me a PDF file or link to put today’s cartoon “obedience’ on my dog training website? I’m updating tonight and will also add a link to your site. Of course I’ll give you credit for the cartoon! If you have others about dog training or obedience I’ll appreciate a PDF for those as well. Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful drawings. I would like to help spread the word about you and was wondering if I could put a link to your site on my website. http://www.dvanimalcommunicator.com Since I’m an animal communicator and greyhound lover your link would be a perfect addition. I like to share happy things on my because there is enough bad news spread elsewhere.
Please let me know how you would like it done if it is okay.
Peace,
Debbie
A daily moment of anticipation, wonder and joy as I watch your cartoon unfold before me.
That canine/human relationship is just so rich.
Thank you so much for sharing!

May I get the link code to post on my website? Thanks!
May I add your link to my French Bulldogs blog? Great site.I will forward a picture and story soon
Hi, I was wondering if your dog font could be purchased. I love it! Love your website, as well….just found it today. Will be signing up. Thanks so much, Paulette
Thanks, Paulette, but it’s not a font. Jim designed the logo. (The other letters don’t exist.)
That would be great, Andrea.
Hello-
I love your site!! I would love to add your link to mine. Could you forward me the code so that I can add a link. I am have some great stories about my dog too that I will send!
Thank you!!
Thank you so much for bringing such joy to my computer ever day. I look forward to your drawings and have shared your site with many of by rescue friends.
I hope to send you some pictures and stories about the Bernese Mountain Dogs I rescue..THANKS AGAIN..
Hi Bruce and friends,
I just discovered your adorable web site and great artwork. I love how the drawings “create” themselves right before your eyes on the computer screen! I run a small interactive boarding and day care facility for social dogs, and I could send you a plethora of funny stories to DRAW from (hah hah hah!). I will be sending a link to your site to many dog lovers in my address book.
Is there a way to save a drawing to the desktop to use as a screensaver? Just curious. I collect cartoons for personal pleasure and would love to save some of these. I can’t see them on my iPhone since Adobe Flash isn’t an option (don’t you just LUV politics?!), so I can’t show them to people that way.
Anyway, thanks for putting a spark of delight in my day with your great creations. I’ll be thinking of some stories to relate to you and write again soon.
Happy tails,
Faye Nowell
I’d like to add your link on my website on the FOR YOUR PETS pages. Thanks for a great website!
How do you add a photo to your avatar on this page?
Hello! We would like to put a link on our site, can you please send the code? Thanks!
In the store, you used to have a t shirt with a “Draw the Dog” logo on it. Will you be carring it again? Love the cartoons!!
Hi, Gail -
We will not be carrying the T-shirt again, because we are letting dog rescue organizations sell T-shirts. Thanks for the kind words.

Getting my cartoon everyday, no matter “who” it is, always brings a smile. Having seven dogs in the house is ALWAYS an adventure, but seeing other people’s trials and tribulations through Jim’s talented mind literally, makes my day. Thanks so much, and thanks so much for supporting rescue and dogs in general! Amy – Mehoopany PA http://www.cairnrescue.com
