One afternoon, after meeting my friend for lunch on a beautiful cool Carolina afternoon, I heard a bark coming from the most unusual place — an art gallery. Needless to say, I ran in to meet the little guy and also poked around and to see the new exhibit. A week later I dropped by again to say hi to my new fuzzy friend and get some pictures of the best little hidden marketing genius himself.

Meet the best greeter at an art gallery, Rattie. He’s spunky, he’s lovable and he’s the best tour guide I’ve had the chance of meeting.

Did I mention that he likes to pose among the art work?

He also has the softest ears.

And since he is the mascot for the gallery, It would only be fitting to have an artistic moment captured for a future canvas.

Thanks for showing me around and being such a great host.

Don’t forget to stop by the Pet Expo tomorrow at Founder’s Hall at the Bank of America Corporate Center around lunch.

There will be a raffle, door prizes and even a photo contest. See you there!
