This was a memorial painting to her dog, Horatio, who was murdered by an Akita running unattended through the neighborhood, when Marilee Ragland was taking a walk in July of 2018. Horatio was a dear family pet for 11 years ever since he was dumped as a puppy on the Ragland’s property with 3 kittens.
