This is Sock-M. She was a 2 year old Pit Bull Terrier owned by a member on the forum. She died back in '06 of cancer. A bunch of members commissioned to have this made and sent to the member. The dog was extremely amazing. She did therapy work, as well as being a breed ambassador elsewhere. Here is her picture, and the bust the member sent as a gift in memory of Sock-M. The boxing gloves were an awesome touch, and went along great with the dog's name and personality.
Here's another commission for another member. Zac and Bronx (English Bulldog and American Bulldog). Zac passed away, and shortly after, this was made for the owner in memory.
Here is a bust of Sgt. Stubby. Stubby was an American Pit Bull Terrier (or at least, he was indeed a mix of the breed), and the first and most decorated war dog (hero) in American history. At his death, he held seventeen war medals of honour to his name. He was often smuggled onto the ships, but proved himself in to be a great advantage in many areas. Stubby was injured twice in battle, once due to grenade shrapnel, and once due to gas exposure. Both times, he was taken to the same hospital that the two-legged soldiers attended, and when he was released, he was send with them to fully recover at Red Cross centers.
This is JJ, a large mixed breed who passed away not too long ago from health complications. This was another member-commissioned piece sent to the dog's owner after JJ passed away.
And here's a few non-canine sculptures by the same artist.
If anyone would like the name and link to the artist, PM me and I'll be glad to give it to you. If you ask nicely, I'm sure she would be happy to do a piece for you, for a price, of a pet.

Good.
rly awesome. what's the scale of those? i want a doggie with green eyes. the rabbit type thing looks like a 3d model.
the rabbit type thing looks like a 3d model.
The Sock-M bust was about 4 inches tall not including the base. It lists Zac and Bronx to be around 8 x 6 x 3 inches. JJ was about 5 inches tall. And Sgt. Stubby unfortunately wasn't listed.
The Rabbit is 11 inches tall, but the llama wasn't listed either.
