Sit. Stay.

The dogs in our neighborhood are very obedient. Tell them to “Sit,” and they do. Tell them to “Stay,” and they do.

For hours.

Days.

Even years at a time.

OK, so maybe our real dogs don’t. But our statues do. We can always count on them to stay right where we put them.

And that’s a good quality in a statue.
