William Astley Maberly
Original oil painting by Will Astley Maberly I have had the privilege of sitting for many hours with these enchanting animals, their appearance alone is enough to excite the eye of any artist.and It is fitting that they are sometimes called the African painted dog as it is impossible to resist trying to capture them through art. Wild dogs or Ganyana have an intricate social structure, acting as a family, they are led by a matriarch and are one of the most successful predators in the bush. Patience and respect may be rewarded as the group eventually begins to accept your presence, and you find yourself an honorary, albeit temporary, member of their pack. They cover large distances, and this has been part of the issue they have had in that they have been conflicted with man, and wild dogs are no where near as high in numbers as they used to be.
