The dog’s paws rest firmly on the ground, balanced and steady. Its slightly tilted head and alert ears suggest it is listening or waiting patiently for its owner’s next move. The rich bronze resin patina catches the light beautifully. This highlights the realistic texture of the fur and gives depth and warmth to the sculpture’s surface.
