Self-employed painter and decorator - require logo design

I need a logo designed for self-employed friend who is a painter and decorator. His business name is D W Painting and Decoratoring.
Colours to be used are yellow, black and white.
Can the dogs be used in the logo design somehow, such as business mascots?
This is because they are a good talking point for customers who also have pets and it would be fun to use them in the design, whether as foreground or background/silhouette
