Scottie’s Fine Art Caves

Ten years ago Richard Miklenic’s life changed forever when he adopted a Maltese/Yorkie puppy he named Scottie (above), and he fell madly in love with the spirited little dog.  One stormy night, he and Scottie were trapped with no electricity in a house on Vancouver Island as trees banged on the roof and the wind howled outside.  Richard tried to comfort Scottie, holding him near the wood stove. 

But Scottie was terrified and ran into the darkened house, first behind a curtain and then into the closet in the master bedroom.  Scottie’s primal nature told him to find a cave, and he did the best he could.  The next morning, Richard decided that if Scottie needed a cave to feel secure he would have one, and Scottie’s Fine Art Caves was born.

Each one is hand-crafted using eco-friendly driftwood from Vancouver Island and reinforced paper mache stone.   And because every dog cave is a work of art, only 30 are made each year.   So get your order in now.

    These are hilarious. I can’t decide if Gigi would love one or would prefer her spot under the bed. Henry doesn’t like to hide in things, so he would sleep on the top of one like Snoopy 🙂
