This friendly hound immediately engages you with an open-mouth, tongue-hanging “smile”, and extraordinary detailing (fur lines, wrinkling of the dog’s skin, expressive eyes). It is signed in cast by the artist, and mounted on a dark granite base. It is a very substantial piece, and it would make an outstanding addition to a collection. It is also large enough to hold it’s own on a mantel or end table. In a library or office, it would also work well alongside a stack of leather bound books!
