Netop’s painting career began in March of 2006.  He is eighteen pounds of boundless energy and was looking for another activity to add to his repertoire, which consists of daily treadmill workouts, skateboarding, agility, and modeling.

Netop’s paintings have been showcased in exhibitions to rave reviews. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of Netop’s paintings is donated to animal shelters and rescue groups.
