| Description |
Though abstract in shape, this little dog radiates
the appealing charm of the real thing. He has a
sleepy grin on his face, as if just awakened from
a long nap. The exaggerated curl of his body
evokes the way a dog really sleeps; his tail seems
to fan the air in friendly greeting. Will he be
surprised at the much-changed world in which
he now finds himself? In the manner of most
canines, he will no doubt adapt easily, happy as
long as he has human companionship.
