Stoic Friend by P. Buckley Moss is a signed and numbered limited edition giclée from the admired Moss Dog Collection, which honors the beauty, loyalty, and companionship of dogs. This artwork features the unmistakable profile of an English Bulldog.

Each print is hand-signed and numbered by the artist, ensuring authenticity and collectible value.
