I have looked at this dog and several other designs by this manufacturer for at least two years. I had never seen art like this before and I just love it. I finally bit the bullet and ordered this guy in the medium size. He is amazing and will be a great addition to my outdoor decor. I could not be happier. Shipping was quick and dog wrapped tightly for protection, which is very much appreciated. Lovely piece! I can hardly wait to add more!
