Dog sculptures represent one of the most popular sections of our Animal Gallery.

Known over the years as hunters, herders, guards and companions, dogs have played a significant role in man society. The first appearance of the domestic dog dates back 20,000 years ago when man first realized that the dog could be a key tool during the hunt, whether for sniffing a trail, pointing a target, or flushing a cozy. As man survival needs changed and evolved to life, as we know it today, the dog role evolved as well.

Today, an Best Friend is a loyal companion awaiting the next command of their master. It has even been stated in medical journals that the companionship of a dog can contribute to their owners physical and psychological well-being. As well, canines are trained to assist the handicap, to help the law officials detect drug trafficking, and to sniff out concealed bombs and weapons.
