This small maple wood statue captures a heartwarming scene of affection and trust between a woman and her dog. Hand-carved from pale, smooth maple, the figures are rendered with gentle curves and minimalist detail, allowing the natural grain of the wood to shine through.
The woman is bent at the waist, her posture soft and tender as she leans forward to kiss the top of the dog’s head. Her hands are delicately cupped beneath the dog’s chin, lifting it slightly in a loving, supportive gesture. The dog stands tall and still, its posture calm and receptive, head tilted upward into her touch.
Adding a whimsical, textured touch, the woman’s blonde hair is made from pipe cleaners—bright and playful against the smooth wood, giving her an endearing, handmade charm. The contrast between the polished maple and the soft strands of hair brings a unique and inviting character to the piece.
This small sculpture speaks quietly but powerfully of compassion, connection, and the silent conversations shared between a human and a beloved dog. It's both touching and delightful—perfect for a shelf, desk, or mantle.
