Charming Old Hand-carved Wooden Black Dog with Leather Ears white horse in landscape Found on the same dayThis sweet guy has a pinkish cow companion, listed separately, but definitely by the same maker.

With leather ears, and lots of years, and I especially love the white back feet and tip of the tail. 4 1 2" l x 3 1 4" t x 1 1 8" w and in very good condition, sturdy and steady on his feet.
