Douglas Major Great Dane - Golden Afternoon

These are more "artsy" shots rather than serious collector pics but the sun was coming in really nicely this evening and was making my room a luxurious golden color. My photos only captured a small amount of that glory but I liked them well enough to post. This will be moved to scraps later.

Subject of the photos is Major the harlequin Great Dane made by Douglas Cuddle Toys. I passed on him back when he was readily available; he has since been retired and is now near impossible to find for sale. I lucked out while visiting a specialty toy store a few days ago and, though he was more than what I wanted to spend that day, I knew another chance to buy him was pretty slim so I nabbed him.

Major was released with three other reclining dogs of similar sizes. Silver the greyhound: [link] , Peter the Bernese Mountain Dog: [link] , and Outback the Australian Shepherd: [link] .

And that little photobomber in the back is my Safari Ltd. woolly mammoth replica.
