During her research, Donna Dobberfuhl came across the story of a most interesting animal, "Black Dog," from all descriptions one of the largest bull bison ever documented. The bronze sculpture of Black Dog is the manifestation of the artists' vision of a great historical figure. Conservation efforts have saved the bison and hopefully the image captured brings a smile and a sense of connection to this magnificent creature of the plains.

The Black Dog sculpture is made of bronze.
