Sweet Little Carved Dog with Handle Tail antique Georgia photo making it appear as ifA little charmer of a carved dog I think, with a tail that doubles as a handle should one want to wear him around one's neck or otherwise carry him around! He's got a bit of the feel of a sled dog to me, making me wonder if he's Alaskan or Canadian and if there might once have been a sled tethered to that tail? 3 1 8 x 2 7 16 x 3 4 and in very good condition, with some age for sure.
