Description
Six o’clock, and Ombre is already at the garden gate. Rain or shine, winter dark or summer gold, he stands there with his nose between the bars, ears lifted, tail beginning to sweep the gravel long before anyone else can hear the rattle of a bicycle on the lane. When Papa finally rounds the bend, Ombre’s whole body wags. It is the best moment of his day, and, if Papa is honest, the best moment of his too.
Black Labradors have a way of becoming the heart of a household, and this realistic portrait honours that bond. It makes a meaningful gift for a new puppy owner, a hunter, a guide-dog trainer or a family remembering a dog who was with them for many happy years. Set it on a desk, a mantel or a hall table near the front door, where every homecoming will feel a little warmer.
