A dear friend and veterinary colleague and his wife own a home near Kruger Park in South Africa. They fell in love with “Painted Wolfs” or “Wild Dogs”, as they are also called; an endangered species, and asked me to sculpt one of these fascinating animals. While studying their way of life and anatomy I became more and more excited about them and wanted to do a good job. Now that “ON THE GO” is finished our friends come and pick it up on her “round” birthday. In a few days we travel to South Africa to see them live.
