As Michael and Alisa Gentilucci were relaxing in their garden, surrounded by planters and accents and imagining their future together, the seed of a new idea took root. A year later, they launched a business. "We began making molds in our garage and soon realized we were onto something," says Michael. They purchased a property with a dilapidated Victorian cabin and unfinished warehouse, transforming it into their garden shop, studio, and home. Michael designs expressive, inspirational garden art and collaborates with local artists to sculpt it. "Customers smile while holding our art," he says, "and tell us stories about who they plan to give it to."

Perfect gift for dog family
Bought this gift for Brother and sister in law who have fur babies. They spend time outside and it seemed the perfect gift to add to there home. They are hard to buy for but it's unique and they wouldn't have it.

Fabulous
I watched this every since it was put in catalogue. I waited as long as I could, saving money for new house. Finally, couldn't stand waiting. I LOVE it. It's in memory of my dog, Zeus, and I smile every time I look at it.

Yes, I would recommend this product
#sweepstakes Heavy and well built. I got the larger one so that I could see it along the fence line in the back yard. Helps to be a dog lover.

So glad I found it!
I've been looking for a certain something to place outside by my front door and when I saw this in your catalog I knew this was it. I just love the serene look on the dogs face. Very fine quality and the service was great. The order arrived in just four days, to my surprise! Thank you. (I got the large)

Special gift for a special person
My mom has always been a central figure to who I am. Her approaching 75th birthday of which she has been lamenting for the past year was needing a special gift from me, her son myself just passing my 50th birthday a few weeks prior... a milestone likely as big to her as me. I had a serious bike accident when I was a teenager and my mom who of course was beside me as I was pulling through succumbed to a wish of mine: I asked for a puppy as I lay prone in a hospital bed... low blow. The summer after I was well on the mend and had long forgotten the wish. One weekend we took a famous car trip to anywhere with me none the wiser arriving at some house in the country. Next thing I knew we were surrounded by Golden Retrievers and left that afternoon with a new puppy: Sara. She was a very special family member and 14 years later me having moved with my wife after grad school to the west coast got the call from my mom that Sara was sick, the next day my mom made the strong and unselfish decision to let Sara rest and no longer struggle. Sara has loomed large in family folklore the 20 or so years since her passing. My mom has never gotten another pup partly knowing it'd be near impossible for any pooch to parallel the paragon of pups that had been Sara. I purchased this statue for mom an avid gardener and staunch keeper of her immaculate yard. I had it shipped to her house and I took the train in secret to arrive as well on her birthday. It was a wonderful day and she has decided that this porcelain reminder of Sara will likely survey the living room rather than the yard... fitting as Sara was always curled up not far from sight. This statue is serene and special and if particular significance to me and my mom. It is well made and hopefully will bring a smile to mom on days she needs it.

This is my second ZEN DOG! I would buy it again.
The Zen Dog is exactly what I expected - in fact, it is my second Zen Dog. They are both made of quality material, and the 4-year-old one looks as good as the new one. They sit outside on my gardening bench. It was packed well and made the trip to Wisconsin without any damage. We bought the bigger ones as reminders of the dogs that have been members of our family in the past. We wanted something to memorialize them but could be moved if we move.

If sales are always final, what happens if the product is not as pictured? One of the customer photos showed one with a poor quality face.

I had thought that this cute Zen Dog would arrive much closer to Christmas. Can you tell me if the recipient is able to tell what is inside by the outside wrapping? I'd like for my son to wait until Christmas to open it, but if you can already see what it is from the box he might as well open it right away. Thank you for answering.
Verified reply from Leslie
Hi there! There are no markings on the shipping box whatsoever. They won’t know until they open it.

What do the two symbols on the back of the dog sculpture mean?
Verified reply from Jen
The Chinese characters etched into the back of each dog's robe represent loyalty, the essential quality of man's best friend.

Do you make the large Zen Dog in the gray color?
Verified reply from Marisa
Thanks for your question. Only the elephant and the frog versions come in gray. The Zen Dog is sand colored only. What is the sound of one color clapping?

This appears to be yellowish. Is it cement color?
Verified reply from Valerie
Due to variations in monitor settings, we understand it can be difficult to determine the exact color of items pictured on our website. The Zen Dog Garden Sculpture is the natural color of the sand-cement mixture it is made of.
