Received my brown poodle yesterday. This statue is amazing! Better than the picture! My plan was to put it in front of the house in the flower garden.  I did for about 2 hours until it started to rain. I went out there and brought it back in the house and put it on top of my fireplace mantle. For me it is far to precious to leave out in the weather. It is in my house to stay so we can enjoy admiring it. It looks so realistic!
