Black Dog (2001) Donna Dobberfuhl Bronze Sponsored by Bob and Bonnie Meeker
“When I start a sculpture such as this, I always research my subject thoroughly, finding out about the essence of the species, the physiology and … the folklore. When reviewing the history of the bison and the early attempts at conservation, I found the story of one most interesting animal, ‘Black Dog,’ from all descriptions one of the largest bulls documented. He became my focus. The bronze sculpture of Black Dog is the manifestation of my vision of a great historical figure. Conservation efforts have saved the bison and I hope that the image that I have captured in bronze brings a smile and a sense of ownership to this magnificent creature of the plains.”
