It has an impressed signature of the artist on the bottom. As always with a Cacciapuoti dog, this pup has a very expressive face and posture, as well as a wildly sculptural quality to its fur. We like to refer to it as "wildly animated" as though the dog was caught and frozen in motion.

It has a beautiful matte finish in soft hues of vanilla and grey, with a deep rosy tongue, a black nose and black eyes.

He measures 5" tall x 5 1/2" long x 3 1/2" wide. This amazing pup is in excellent condition. If you are a Cacciapuoti collector, don't miss out on this one. If you are looking for a truly engaging pup, this might be just the one you have been searching for!
