I had been hooking for less than a year when our beloved Fred died and I hooked this rug as a Christmas gift for my parents. I was very happy with his body and tail at the time...but just couldn't improve the face, despite numerous attempts. It was the best that I could do in 1990.
(It wasn't until long after I'd finished the rug that I noticed that he wasn't grounded...which was true in a way - he'd already gone up to heaven!)
