Black Bell Collar
Joanne Knauf - South Africa

Note: Joanne passed away in March, 2006 and the pug world lost a truly special person.

I first featured Joanne in the Pugs In Art section on June 30, 2003. She was kind enough to send me a few of her pug paintings and a little description of her work. She was owned by 4 pugs.

Joanne contributed to Pug Rescue and has countless pug friends over the world. In recognition for all she did for pugs and pug people I'm establishing a page for her.
