^ William Wegman Short Films. Knock yerself out.
He is one of my favourite and cherished artists, a maverick and frontiersman bravely exploring the surreality, irony, absurdity, darkness, and profound existential hilarity of human nature. I first discovered his videos and photographs while in high school in the early 80s when I took summer classes at The Art Institute Of Chicago (where I subsequently got my Bachelor Of Fine Arts degree). One of the classes I took was video art and we got an introduction to the relatively new medium as a powerful experimental tool for expression. To see the incredible and varied 
possibilities of video we watched some works by innovative, avante garde artists like Vito Acconci, Bill Viola, Andy Warhol, and of course, William Wegman.
I'd go on but for now I'll let William Wegman himself explain it (a full gallery of his stuff is there).
I would sooooo love to have a doogie like this.
