Hearts of Gold
Hearts of Gold was designed and painted by professional artist Marnie Maurri.
Design summary
About her design inspiration, Marnie said, “This design was based, quite simply, on the fact that all dogs, and especially guide dogs, are full of love and have absolute hearts of gold! I’ve covered this lovely sculpture in super-shiny gold hearts of varying sizes, with the biggest one being right on the dog’s chest.”
