Happier Little Spotted Dog Wooden Folk Art Doorstop pot holder seems to have been finishedFound on the same day as the unhappy dog doorstop I just listed, this guy, captured mid step, seems rather more cheerful. He's just a little thing, not especially poised to hold open a heavy door, though the doorstop piece is longer and more substantial than he is! 5" w x 3" t x 6 5 8" d and in very good, very sturdy vintage condition.
