I have an 8lb maltese so naturally I had to have this adorable statue for my bedroom.  Ashesitsin my headboard, doesnt he look like hes praying over me, for me to have a nice day .  Since he is made of resin, he is weather-resistant but check his dimensionsWhy hes much too little to be left outside alone.  Why noone could even see him in your flower-garden and hed be a gianf in any garden of miniatures.   He can have other playmates --they are different breeds. Check it ouf.
