This is a one-of-a-kind piece.  There may be more monsters, but this Dog is an original.

Woof!

Man’s Best Friend is now also Monster’s Best Friend. As promised/threatened, the Dog of Monster Cabinet has emerged from my Laboratory ready to roam the Earth in search of his Monster Master. In the meantime he waits patiently like a Neo-Tiki god standing silent sentinel until bidden.

NOT an AKC-registered breed.

Dog of Monster is based, in part, on two real-life dogs. My Father-in-law’s polish lowland sheepdog, Newt, and my friend Leigh’s Great Pyrenees, Twain. They are both really great dogs, but can be a little defensive.

Newt is the only dog to have ever bitten me; he mistook me for a burglar. Actually mistook so many people in the house (as well as outside) for burglars that he has now been well medicated. On the plus side my father-in-law no longer has to pay for a security system.

Twain was banished, upon pain of death, from Rappahannock County, Virginia after he attacked another dog that had wandered into Twain’s territory. Twain is a working dog whose charge is about a hundred acres of farm and forest. Twain scares off or takes down deer; Twain “evicts” groundhogs that eat the squash; Twain faces off with the bears that wander through “his” fields; Twain enjoys having his nose scratched.
