There is nothing more beautiful or satisfying than having special dogs as your friends. And what dog isn’t special in their own right? Our studio just lost one of our precious shepherds. Her name was Filchi, a long haired German Shepherd. She entertained us; spun around in circles like a true cartoon; made us laugh; stole our food when we weren’t looking (she demonstrated a special liking for egg rolls) and just basically kept everyone, especially our Producer, Tom Tataranowicz, company in his office all day long. She had a big time protective streak and specialized in guarding Tom's shoes.

Her companion was Loki, a mellow 100 pound Long Hair Belgian Shepherd. He lives to steal food and specialized in his "morning rounds" of scouting food from out of everyone's waste baskets. He had to go on a special diet, mainly no more pizza, because hanging out with our artists and staff, he was getting a little on the hefty side of things. So our Production Assistant, Leila Tilghman, and Deb would regularly walk the hounds to get relief so to speak. Anyway, we’re happy to say that Loki is now starting to have a waist again!

And then, there’s our newest addition to the G-7 pack... her name is Snitchi. See the similarity between the names Snitchi and Filchi? They both love to swipe food. What can you expect? After all, they can’t hop in the car and go buy their own, can they? So, not only is G-7 filled with creative artists from top to bottom, but so are our great furry mascots. You'd be amazed at how creative they can be when it comes to snitching food. Truthfully, these dogs are the Studio's true "Spiritual Leaders." They are always there for us when we need a hug or a lick.

Need stress relief? Get a dog or two. Need great animation... call Gang of 7 Animation. If we like you, we’ll even let you hang with our infamous “fuzzballs”. And keep your eyes open for the "Biker Mice from Mars" series where you will see these same hounds drawn and barking away. They can act too! And they don't even have to pay dues to SAG.

Also, keep your eyes peeled because our newly designed web site is just about ready to be put on the internet. You're going to love it!
