A dog named Banksy uses his artistic skills to recreate famous works by his namesake — all for the charity that cares for him.
The rescue dog — also nicknamed ‘Barksy’ — uses his nose and paws to make the pieces of art to raise money for Bristol Animal Rescue Centre.
The centre has been caring for the dog since August — and his auctioned works have now raised £500.
Spokeswoman Gina Jones said: ‘We’re absolutely thrilled.
‘The money will make a big difference to the lives of vulnerable animals in our care.
‘He just keeps going and going, he loves spreading the paint around.
‘I think he secretly really enjoys the attention. He’s really come out of his shell.’
Banksy has recreated Girl With The Tennis Ball Earring, Good Panda, Treats Are In The Air, Dog And Cat, Neon Panda, (Dreaming Of) Adoption Day, and DB Original.
Good Panda was the biggest seller, going for £120, and the auction raised £498 in total.
Staff now want to find Banksy a forever home.
