"Weiner Wolf" - Front and Center Please!

I want to introduce to you a Super Hero, "Weiner Wolf".  She's brave, she's daring, willing to leap canals and make it to the other side!  Well, actually due to the short legs and small stature, generally she didn't make it to the other side.  But after some well placed whimpering, she usually convinced someone to pull her out of the canal and Forest was just the kind of marine that would.  After all, she is Weiner Wolf and not a one of these brave marines would ever leave one of their own behind. 

Heroes can be big or small, it doesn't matter.  Their effect left on those around does not necessarily have to be epic in deed, but they make a difference that resonates.  So what has this little Shepard mutt done to help these freedom defending heroes of ours?  So much more than meets the eye.  When I see that Weiner Wolf photo, I see her Superman cape, the fire in her eye says, "I can do anything!  And I am ready and willing to do it."  Her brave heart reflects the marines that surround her.  She will defend with all of her heart and life with either one approving lick on their noses or be a strangers worst enemy.  And the men that surround her have a soft spot saved only for Weiner Wolf in the midst of war, she can bring a reality, unconditional love still exits.  There is a great peace in hugging Wiener Wolf and in return, this Super Hero will sleep at your feet. 

While I was working carving Weiner Wolf I noticed the little things in the photo that you might overlook.  Beyond the brave little glint in her eye look closely at the ground around her.  There is a flack jacket sitting on the ground probably just taken off.  The boot prints look like the photographer picked Weiner Wolf up and positioned her for the camera pick, saying, "Okay Weiner Wolf, stay"  Her foot print looks like she moved a little probably trying to stop from wiggling with excitement; "Staaay!  Good girl!  Weiner Wolf gets a cookie." 

I had to try a first run of prints to check on the carving.  All the tests are good and Sunday, I will demonstrate printing Wiener Wolf at the CNY Artguild's Art Show and Sale.  After I will be sending them down to Camp Lejeune to give out to the guys who knew Wiener Wolf. 

What I see in her reflects the marine corp values.  Good dog, Weiner Wolf.  Get em!
