It's a nice large size, 12.5" from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail and stands 8" tall, and looks wonderful on a mantel or shelf. Sculpted to resemble a Balloon dog, it makes a great gift for children or adults. It even has felt pads for the feet to protect any surface. Comes in the manufacturer's box, safely packaged.<br /><br />Suggested retail is $74.00 and the least expensive I could find it was for $57.00 +$25.00 shipping <a href="http://www.artlook-store.com/Doggy-Bank-P940.aspx">here</a>, so this is an excellent deal. The bank will ship priority mail (so no PO boxes) beginning Friday, December 5th and arrive in 2-3 days.<br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">sorry, but these have sold out.</span><br /></span>
