Stephen Huneck

Stephen Huneck (1948-2010) was an American artist renowned for his whimsical, heartfelt, and often humorous depictions of dogs. Born in Sudbury, Massachusetts, Huneck developed a deep love for woodworking and art at a young age. This passion led him to create a unique artistic style that combined traditional wood carving with vibrant painting. His work often featured dogs in various scenarios, reflecting his profound affection and understanding of these animals. Huneck’s signature pieces included hand-carved furniture, and woodcut prints, which became highly sought after for their originality and charm.
One of Huneck’s most significant contributions to the art world and dog lovers alike was the creation of the Dog Chapel in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Opened in 2000, this chapel is a sanctuary for people to celebrate and mourn their pets, embodying Huneck’s understanding of the deep emotional bond between humans and animals. His artistic significance is further underlined by the inclusion of his works in the permanent collections of prestigious institutions like the Smithsonian Institution, Shelburne Museum, the American Kennel Club, and the Dog Museum of America. Huneck also authored the New York Times best-selling series of children’s books featuring the Black Lab “Sally,” which brought joy to thousands of readers worldwide.
Tragically, Huneck’s life was cut short in 2010, but his legacy continues through his art, which remains beloved by collectors and dog enthusiasts around the world. His work continues to inspire and delight, offering a unique window into the joyful and whimsical world of our four-legged friends.
