There is much controversy regarding the manner in which wolves evolved into dogs, but early-domesticated wolves helped men hunt and thus became known as “man’s best friend.” Over the millennia, dogs have gone on to play many roles in the service of humans, but the idea of dogs as “man’s best friend” continues to this day.

From April 14 to May 14, Artists in Middleburg (AiM) are hosting an exhibit that celebrates the connection between man and dog. “Man’s Best Friend: The Dog in Art” exhibit is at the AiM Gallery on Washington Street in Middleburg and features the work of local artists.

Middleburg Life was on hand for the opening. We are offering a few photographs that we hope will inspire you to visit the exhibit and support our local arts. ML
