This dragon is a great sentry for mail.  I have used him for over 10 years and had to buy a new one due to damage of him falling over in a storm due to my failure to secure him.  Original one has now been moved into house for repair and the new one put on a more secure stand on porch.  I am sure if he were placed on a post secured in the ground he would stand guard for decades.  Well made and crafted.
