Jurita’s family dog Bad Boy Tyler is on artist’s oil painting honouring Her Majesty love to dogs, that she created in 2018 in London’s Art Studio. The painting was completed in early December at a time when Jurita was convalescing from a severe relapse in her health some two months after his death.
