He discovered a love for creating wildlife figures from modeling clay when he was ten. The artist now resides in Pryor, Montana where he is still creating fine art. This bronze is of a beautiful Alaskan Malamute, Malamutes were originally bred for their strength and endurance to haul heavy freight as a sled dog.

The bronze itself is in very good condition, though it is missing the original wood base. The bronze measures about 9 1/2"L x 3 3/4"W x 10 1/2"T.
