A sculpture commission for my good friends Clara and Roo Yori.

Hector was an amazing dog. A gentle and caring soul and all around fun loving. He was rescued from Michael Vick's dog fighting ring and later adopted by my friends. Despite the horrible treatment he received in his early years, he never became aggressive. His gentle personality led to him eventually becoming a therapy dog.

He frequently visited schools, nursing homes, and hospitals. Hector worked in the public eye to raise awareness against breed discrimination and the plights of animals in shelters. He traveled to events all over the country and touched the lives of many.
