This picture has more sentimental value than artistic value. When I was a kid, my favorite cartoon was He-Man. This guy, Orko, was maybe my favorite character and I even went as him for Halloween once. I had the figure, but of course, sold him like all of my other toys long ago. I liked him so much though, that Jess and I named our Schnauzer after him. We loved that boy and were devastated when we had to put him to sleep last April. He was a great boy; our son. Sure, we have a new Schnauzer puppy, and he is wonderful, but we will never forget Orko. The other day, I decided to buy on Ebay, the original Orko figure so that I can remember our boy whenever I see it. I think it was a good decision.

My heart swells with emotion - your childhood, our boy, your thoughtful sentimentality in finding a way to remember both. *sigh* You are such a good man...
Very nice picture and a very nice sentiment to go with it. Orko was a great dog who brought lots of joy. I miss him!
Tears and hugs darling.
What a great picture for remembering your childhood and your own little Orko.
