Description
Shh. Don’t move. In the middle of the garden path, Gaston has frozen in a perfect crouch, nose to the gravel, bat ears swiveled forward, his whole cream-colored body quivering with concentration. Just ahead, perched on a pink bloom, a butterfly opens and closes its blue and black wings, entirely unbothered. Gaston creeps forward one inch. Then another. The butterfly lifts off, loops lazily around his head, and settles on the next flower. Gaston sneezes. The chase begins again.
Anyone who loves a Frenchie will smile at this little drama. The cream bulldog crouches beside painted flowers while the butterfly hovers nearby, and inside, a stroke of green grass continues the garden scene. It makes a charming present for a French Bulldog owner, a dog groomer, or a friend who collects butterflies. Set it on a dressing table where its gold rim catches the light, or on a bookshelf beside a photo of a snoring, snuffling best friend.
