This darling little statue is adorable.  It looks just like the picture. This was a birthday gift for my husband.  We had a little Shih Tzu who looked just like this one.  We lost her 1 year ago.  She was 17 years old.  We both love this statue.  It is a wonderful reminder of her. We have it on top of a cabinet.  If it was larger, we probably would put it on the floor but this is the perfect size for an end table, coffee table or cabinet.  It looks so real.  It is not like a lot of statues that look fake.  Would recommend it.
