By Sarah Lazarovic

Sarah Lazarovic—curator of the garage-based Montrose Portrait Gallery of Canada—is painting a portrait of a Torontonian every day. Each Monday, we’ll feature one of those portraits here. Suggestions for subjects welcome.

Today is the last day of the Toronto Humane Society’s Adopt-A-Thon. This is Verbal, a highly articulate barker who is waiting for someone to end his sentence.
