They proved to be very popular and she now ships orders all over the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Nov. 7, Carver was invited to meet a room full of JSO K-9 officers and their dogs, tour a training facility and hear stories about the dogs and their partners. She said it was a proud moment for her to present Hererra with the portrait In memory of K-9 Fang and thank him and all the officers for everything they do to keep the community safe. Hererra was very appreciative of the portrait of his partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIn gratitude for my talent and gift of art, I love to \u2018give back\u2019 by donating to animal shelters, rescue facilities and the families that take in the dogs when they&#8217;ve been in the shelters too long,\u201d Carver said. \u201cThis time it felt good to use my talent to gift someone that needed a portrait, to give back to someone that experienced a loss. I hope that everytime Matt sees the portrait he can smile.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Photo courtesy Joan Carver<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Matt Hererra holding the portrait of Fang presented to him by artist Joan Carver <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By NewsLine Staff mail@floridanewsline.com Local artist Joan Carver said she was heartbroken when she heard the devastating news of K-9 Officer Fang being shot and killed as he approached a carjacker on Sept. 30.
