Hi Gilian,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Several of the Murano studios made dog statues; there can be some variation in value between makers, sometimes as little as $50-75 or as much as $200-300. I don't notice any names on the label or any mention of any signature or maker's mark so will value this conservatively, on the low end. If you know the name of the maker please let me know and I'll look into re-evaluating this appraisal.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is
