This is a beautiful statue of a shih tzu and very realistic.  Lovely glass eyes that look like they are really seeing you.  Adorable pink tongue makes you fall in love too!  This is actually the second one I bought.  I also bought the match that is sitting.  I loved them that much!  Plus, they are great memorials of my pet who passed a year ago.  You would not be disappointed no matter your reason to buy.
