I need a LOGO for a DOG WALKING buisiness! can I use yours? :)?

me and my bff are starting a dog walking buisness. Thing is... We need a logo. I could make one but I see a lot of cute pics out there on the internet that I like. plus I don't want to make my own (I'm bad with proportions, colors, shapes, etc... on animals) So I need a picture that YOU have made that I can copy & paste from a site or page to my buisness cards and flyers. THANX!

By dog or wolf (my buisness is called "Leash that Beast!" dog walking services and I need a dog or a wolf pic that's CUTE! It can be like a mean looking but cute wolf or something. No REAL LIFE pics, only drawings or computer art, thanx! And yes you will get credit for the pic, if you want it, and if you have your name on the card. But when people ask who made it for me (if they ask) I'll just simply say your yahoo user on answers :) thanks (Permission by you is all I need, if you don't want your username being let out then just let me know. :)

Update:

I'm only 14 and I plan on walking dogs around the neighborhood. I just need a little logo, nothing big. I just need permission first. It's not illegal to use pictures on the internet if it's a site that allows copy & paste, but I prefer to be responsible and get permission.

    Better talk to an attorney to find out your legal rights are about using pictures and the name, some may be copyrighted and registered with the state. Also you will need to be insured and pay taxes on your income. You should also be licensed, bonded and insured. Since you will be walking other people's pets, do you know animal first aid since you will be totally responsible for them in your care. If you are under 18 yrs old, you can not sign any contracts with your clients if they insist on one. A contract will protect both you and your client. An attorney will tell you what you need to do, so consult one to keep everything legal and you out of court!
