I love this fountain.  It appears well-made, and I repurposed it for our outside cats.  Unfortunately, my inside dog is scared of it.  (I got it for him.)  He is young and slightly anxious about noises; the motor scared him.  It isn't that loud, but my dog's ears are sensitive.  Looking from the top, it is a cute cat face.  Great water fountain when compared to other fountains I have seen.
