Dog Park by Ziyaad Samsodien celebrates Oscars Arc WOOF Project and the joy of adoption – showing how community and compassion can change lives.
Ziyaad Samsodien created Dog Park – a playful, heartfelt celebration of the bond between humans and their dogs – in support of Oscars Arc WOOF Project, a cause supported by the Naked Difference. Rather than a literal park, the artwork imagines an inviting, joyful space where furry friends and their people can connect and enjoy moments together.
Using his Flying Duck identity, Ziyaad added signature bold line work and small, whimsical details that capture the essence of the campaign: community, care and the impact we can make when we come together. The piece reflects the joy and freedom that comes from shared spaces, reminding us how simple moments of connection can be transformative – for dogs and people alike.
Oscars Arc’s mission is to inspire adoption and save lives by bringing shelter dogs to the public in accessible, interactive ways. Every adoption gives a dog a home, and every home gives a dog a life full of love and security.
Because every dog deserves a place to play, a family to love and a space to be celebrated.
The artwork forms part of The Art of Making a Difference, a collection which tells the story of the Naked Difference and the causes it supports through a curated collection of graphic poster artworks and tote bags. Each piece celebrates the mission and impact of a different organisation.
Unlike traditional insurers, Naked charges a flat fee to cover its running costs, with the rest of the premiums going into a shared pool to pay claims. At the end of each financial year, Naked donates any surplus funds left in the claims pool to causes chosen by customers through the Naked Difference, instead of taking it as profit — ensuring that surplus funds support positive change in South African communities rather than adding to company profits.
That means every Naked customer who chose Oscars Arc WOOF Project as their cause on the Naked app helped in funding food, vet care, logistics and programmes that make adoption joyful and accessible.
