I'll be honest, when the idea came up I assumed it would look like one of those filters that turns your photo into a cartoon and fools nobody.

So I sent one photo of Gus. Not a good one. The painting came back in about a minute, and I sat there looking at it longer than I want to admit. Free to see, which is the only reason I was willing to try at all — I paid once I knew.

It's on the living room wall now. My daughter came over, saw it, and cried. Fifteen years of that dog, and somehow a painting is what did it.

Whippet people have a running complaint about pet portraits, and it is always the same one: the ears.

A whippet's ear folds back into a small rose shape and sits low against the head. Round it off or prick it up and you no longer have a whippet, you have a generic skinny dog. It is the one detail that decides whether the painting looks like your dog or just like a dog.

So here are three. A fawn-and-white, a brindle, and a blue-grey going white around the muzzle, all given the same watercolor treatment, and they still read as three separate animals. Because they are.

One photo is enough. You see the painting first, free, and only pay if it is right.

Which of the three is closest to yours?

The question that comes up more than any other: is it a real object, or just a digital file you download and then have to sort out yourself?

It's a real object. Gallery-wrapped canvas, the painting continuing around a three-quarter-inch edge so it doesn't need framing, and it arrives ready to hang.

That's Nova, who is a Samoyed, and who sheds enough every spring to build a second Samoyed.

Free to see yours before you decide anything.

Basset people will tell you the jowls are the entire dog. The ears get all the attention, but it's the loose skin around the muzzle that makes a basset look like a basset — heavy, folded, faintly disappointed in you.

Most portraits smooth that away. They tidy the face up, and you end up with a generic hound with long ears.

So here are three of them. A young tricolor, an adult lemon-and-white, and a senior going grey around the muzzle. Same treatment on all three, and they still look like three different dogs, because they are.

Upload one photo and the painting comes back in about a minute. Free to look at. You only pay if you love it.

Olive is a Persian, which means she has exactly one facial expression, it is mild contempt, and it is aimed at me, permanently.

Photographing her is close to impossible. She either moves at the last second or turns away, so what I actually have is four hundred pictures of the back of a very fluffy head.

I found the one decent shot and had it painted. About a minute later, there it was. Free to look at, and I only paid once I was sure.

It hangs above the bookcase now. She sits underneath it looking unimpressed, which from her is high praise.

The most common question isn't about price. It's whether what arrives is a real canvas or just a file you have to take somewhere and print.

It's real, and you can hear it before you see it — the sleeve tearing, the weight of the thing coming out of it. Cotton weave you can feel with a thumb, the painting carrying on around a three-quarter-inch gallery edge so there's no frame to buy. Flat sleeve to wall in about ten minutes.

Juno's been up beside the lamp ever since. The texture is the part a photo never quite gets across.

Free to see yours first. You only pay if you love it.

Ranger is nine. In nine years I have never once managed a photo of him where he is not halfway through standing up.

So I uploaded the least blurry one I had and watched it come back as a watercolor painting in about a minute. Free to see. I only paid once I knew I wanted it.

It is above the sofa now, which is where he lies anyway, so he spends most evenings underneath himself.

Duke is six and has never in his life heard a camera come out and stayed where he was. Every photo I have of him is mid-turn, half a dog, ears going one way and the rest of him going another.

I uploaded the least blurry one and watched it come back as a watercolor painting in about a minute. Free to see. I only paid once I was sure.

It is on the stairwell wall now, hung at roughly his height, which was not deliberate but has turned out to be very funny.

The question that comes up more than any other is whether it's a real object or just a file you download and figure out yourself.

It's a real object. Gallery-wrapped canvas, the painting carrying on around a three-quarter-inch edge so it doesn't need framing, arriving flat in a plain sleeve and going straight onto the wall.

You can hear the difference before you see it, honestly. Stretched canvas doesn't sound like paper.

Free to see yours first. You only pay if you love it.

Boston Terrier people will tell you the ears are the whole personality. Wide-set, upright, and slightly too big for the head — get those wrong and it stops being a Boston and starts being a generic small dog with a white chest.

So here are three of them. A young tuxedo, an older brindle going grey around the muzzle, and a pup with a blaze you could land a plane on. Same treatment on all three, and they still look like three different dogs, because they are.

Upload one photo and the painting comes back in about a minute. Free to look at. You only pay if you love it.
