We also got to talk with Good Puppers artists Cari Corene and Amanda Coronado about their role in creating the artwork for the card game.

Dog O’Day – Do you have any dogs of your own, and if so, what are their personalities like?

Cari and Amanda – Sadly we have no dogs! We both grew up with dogs though! Cari grew up with an Australian Shepherd named Molly. Molly was abandoned at a rural parsonage when she was a hyper puppy, and she came home to live with Cari who was a hyper teenager. Molly liked to hike mountains for miles and miles.

Amanda grew up with a German Shepherd/Australian Shepherd mix named Durango! Durango was the runt of the litter, his mommy was supposed to have a litter of purebred German Shepherds, but then, Mom met the Aussie next door by accident… Durango liked to climb trees and catch squirrels.

How did you get involved in creating the art for Good Puppers?

We did a kids book called Floral Frolic that was about two little crazy foxes! So doing a bunch of cute dogs is our specialty.

What’s your favorite piece you did for the game, and why?

Cari – My favorite piece is probably the Pit Bull. I had a sweetie named Tippie (for her little white tippie toes) and I think Pibbles are frequently misunderstood.

Amanda –The Shiba Inu, because I felt like it was a good collaboration between the two of us. Also, if we could get a dog today right this minute, it would be a Shiba.

Do you have a favorite breed (in real life or to draw) and if so, how come?

Our current favorite breed must be a Shiba Inu, but that’s mainly because we both really want a dog and wish we could have one. Sadly we spend a lot of time away from home, vending at shows, so having a dog is really difficult.

Why do you think people love pet art in general?

Aw, we all have a connection to some pet, maybe in the past or maybe currently, or maybe it was even just a friend’s pet that we got to visit. Right now is a sad time, because we’re all trying to stay separate and healthy. So watching videos or looking at art of pets is very comforting.

Is there an Instagram where readers can follow your art?

Yes, for sure! For Amanda, it’s @Cinnamoron, and for Cari, it’s @StoryOfTheDoor.
