    Picked this cute dog up from a street fair today.
    I don’t even know which metal he is made of! I think it’s quite soft by the way the leg is bent but it’s got a shiny iridescent look to it, not the dull look of lead.
    I decided it’s too nice not to be signed and after looking with a loupe there is an L on one paw and something indistinguishable on another.
    I can’t work out the breed either with that curly tail! Most big breeds with curly tails are floofy and this looks to be smooth coated.
    He is approx 4” tall, solid and heavy.
    Thankyou for looking :)

    Is he hollow and filled with melted aluminum in the bottom of all feet?
    He is very cute, looks like the perfect "mutt" doggo!

    He is sweet. What is that in his mouth?
    Two legs, both his left legs. I'm sure that can be fixed.
    g?
    Maybe @daveydempsey knows.:)

    Put it it in hot water and use a pencil to lever the leg back into position.
    Obviously let the water cool so it is hand bearable

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    HOW heavy is it?? Did you weigh it.....maybe it's painted black...GOLD (looks like gold showing through in the L on the bottom of the foot...)!!!! But, back to reality....IS that a letter or mark that I've circled in RED??
