Pet Lover's Willow Tree Figurine

Willow Tree is a line of figurative sculptures that communicate through gesture, representing an emotion or marking a memory. A gift of Willow Tree communicates beyond words. The challenge for artist Susan Lordi is to honestly sculpt what she knows to be true and to put her emotions into tangible form, in the hope that it will touch a universal chord and be meaningful to others.

Pets have now joined the Willow Tree family, with the introduction of the "Love my Dog" (small, standing) figurine. This 2-inch resin figure is cast from Susan Lordi's original carving and painted by hand in her studio in Kansas City, MO. The sentiment "Always with me, full of personality!" is written on the Enclosure Card, capturing the essence of this beloved companion.

The "Love my Dog" figure features a small standing dog, such as a terrier, pug, beagle, spaniel, or mixed breed, and works well with other Willow Tree family pieces to create beautiful groupings. The hand-carved figures reveal their expression through body gestures alone – a tilt of the head, a turn of the body – conveying a range of emotions and memories.

Packaged in a fitted box, the "Love my Dog" figurine is ready for gift-giving. The piece can be displayed on a shelf, table, or mantel, and can be easily dusted with a soft brush or cloth when needed.

In addition to the "Love my Dog" figure, the Willow Tree collection also includes the "Love my Cat" (dark) sculpted and hand-painted figure, allowing pet owners to celebrate the special bond they share with their feline friends.

With their thoughtful design and emotional resonance, Willow Tree figurines have become a cherished part of many households. Whether as a reminder of someone we want to keep close or a memory we want to touch, these beautiful pieces offer a meaningful way to connect with the people and pets we love.
