"Retired Racers" |
|
Zookeepers Collection
Limited Edition |
| by David
Lawrence |
| Made in
China |
| The greyhound is sleek and elegant -
a result of the art of selective breeding and a master of
moving through space quickly. Man, always
eager to bet on something, created the racing dog for his
own amusement, without regard to the well being of the
animal. |
| |
| Master craftsman David Lawrence is
pleased to introduce this limited edition greyhound box
figurine created to promote awareness of the plight of
racing greyhounds. |
| Under the feet of the dogs you will
see some mice and a rabbit, often used as a lure in the
training of racing greyhounds |
| |
| The various
hallmarks are located along the base, and the "CL" refers
both to Catherine Lawrence, the sculptor's daughter, and
to Catherine Leicester, an avid HK collector and dedicated
greyhound rescue worker. |
