"Sunnyside Up, Wire" and "Life's a Ball, Wire" are "Pals" playing together. Created by combining the two wirehaired boys, this is an idea for how you may wish to display them. "Pals" is two big boys doing what boys do best, playing! "Pals" is sure to bring smiles any way you display them!

Each "Pals, Wire" is made by hand in the USA. Each dog is signed and numbered. Edition size of "Pals, Wire" depends upon the number available of each individual out of its own edition. I invite you to double your pleasure with these two bronze boys.

Crafted by hand, one at a time, each is signed and numbered and each includes my mark,
