Relief Carved Leaping Puppy wooden cutout ship Stuffed with fabric/rags I believeOne of a bunch of smallish animals of various sorts gathered at Brimfield, this one I really like for the energetic puppy ness of the carved spotted dog, suspended forever mid leap, mouth open and tail high. Carved in deep relief, stained and varnished, 1940s 50s or so, I would guess. 6 1 4 l x 2 5 8 t x 3 4" d. Very good condition. Stands up on its own, but a hook easily added for hanging.
