This story is a dog\u2026 or should I say it is about a dog named Kramer, and an owner\u2019s love and devotion to Seinfeld.<\/p>\n

Meagen-Marie Joyce, who lives in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan, became the owner of a golden lab named Kramer just three years ago.\u00a0 Named after the well-known Seinfeld character, like most dogs Kramer also goes by other names.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also call him \u2018Hey Buddy\u2019 so often that I’m sure he thinks his name is buddy as well,\u201d Meagen-Marie said.\u00a0 For those that are Seinfeld fans, you might recognize \u201chey buddy\u201d as an oft-used greeting by the character Kramer, most notably in the episode where Newman envisions Kramer as a roasted turkey<\/a>. (S09E01 \u2013 The Butter Shave<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Of course, Meagen-Marie, being a Seinfeld fan, couldn\u2019t pass up the opportunity of having her beloved pet immortalized in a painting. And why not do it in the style of \u201cThe Kramer<\/a>\u201d, a well-known portrait of the Seinfeld character Kramer \u00a0from episode \u201cThe Letter<\/a>\u201d (S03E21)?<\/p>
