    It sounds like you had a charming encounter with a lifelike dog sculpture! The fact that you initially mistook it for a real dog speaks volumes about the sculptor’s talent and attention to detail. And yes, I agree – the sculptor must have a deep appreciation for dogs to capture their essence so beautifully.

    It’s also interesting that you noted the sculpture’s “composed” demeanor while another dog played nearby. This contrast adds a layer of depth to the scene and makes the sculpture even more intriguing. It’s as if the sculpted dog is observing the world with a quiet wisdom and gentle amusement.

    This experience reminds us of the power of art to capture the spirit of living creatures and evoke emotions in those who encounter it. It’s a testament to the sculptor’s skill and their love for dogs.

    I wonder if it was a memorial for a faithful friend or owner? Rather poignant… dog’s are man’s best friend. ❀

    This is a beautifully realistic sculpture of a dog. I am not surprised you were taken in at first!

    Yes. It certainly makes you to a double take to work out whether real or sculpture. Very life-like.

    I agree, Belinda, the dog appears to be a living dog! I hope a living human will adopted a dog as an inspiration form this. ❀️😊
