Kodiak was the 1st Place winner of the Vol. 4 Outer Banks SPCA Awareness Pet Photo Contest that is the cover dog for the Vol. 5 issue of the Pampered Pets Guide.
Kodiak was photographed by Nancy Dierson in Nags Head, NC, when he was 14 years old, during his Vacation to the Pet Friendly, Outer Banks of North Carolina.
Being the 1st Place winner Kodiak & his family received a 16 x 20 beautifully hand painted acrylic (matted to size) Custom Pet Portrait by Outer Banks Artist Lee M. Mansfield of the Hemingway Gallery in Seagate North Shopping Center in Kill Devil Hills, NC.
Kodiak's portrait does not match his winning cover photo, as all winners are allowed to submit a photo of choice, for Artist Lee M. Mansfield to use in creating their custom portrait.
