Yes I can do this for you (even the painting part) and I as well as many other artists sell gift cards for you to give the dog lover in your life.
Dog DNA Test Kit: These kits can provide insights into a dog's breed, health, and ancestry. It's a fun and informative gift that allows dog lovers to learn more about their furry family member. If the dog lover in your life has a rescued dog, they might particularly enjoy this. Often times people feel it is a bit of a splurge or indulgence and so they won’t spend the money on themselves, but they would love to receive it as a kit.
