Togo’s story:

The sudden outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic that swept the world in early 2020 has made another epidemic in the past century somewhat in common with the current situation. Both are facing the effects of a horrific epidemic, with severe shortages of medical facilities and many lives on the line. People are forced to face difficult choices. Togo’s heroic delivery of life-saving blood serum is not only worthy of praise.

Moreover, its loyalty and tacit understanding to its master are also revealing the mystery of life. In January 1925, 20 sled drivers and 150 sled dogs ran 1085 kilometers in a relay under the raging arctic snowstorm. They were meant to deliver diphtheria serum. And, with their efforts, they successfully saved a small town and lifted the crisis. These desperate dogs combine the virtues of grit, fidelity, and wit.

Togo Movies:

The emotional description of Togo’s entire film is very delicate, especially for Togo’s “humanized” expression. These techniques could directly resonate with the audience. And, in the final credits, 20 teams participated in the 1925 rescue relay. The 19 teams ran an average of 31 miles per team. And Togo’s bobsled team ran 264 miles. So, to commemorate this feat, a sculpture of a sled dog named “Balto” was erected in New York’s Central Park. In 2011, Time magazine named Togo the most heroic animal of the century. Therefore, it makes us feel the real power of animals.

New York Central Park Sled Dog Sculpture:

There are many dog statues in Central Park in New York City showing the cultural atmosphere of American society. These sculptures tell a variety of human past events. One very different sculpture, however, was erected for a sled dog named Balto. The inscription below the statue says it commemorates a historical feat that took place in Alaska (the 1925 serum run to Nome or the Great Race of Mercy):

Advantages of YouFine Factory:

Usually, YouFine factories have professional green dog casting artists. These people were very good at casting bronze dog sculptures.

Therefore, our bronze dog ornaments are sure to withstand the wind and rain. There is no doubt that by choosing the Youfeng factory, you may have a bronze dog sculpture of good collectible and decorative value.

Traditional Lost Wax Method:

Artists at the YouFine factory cast bronze traditional lost wax sculptures using the traditional lost wax method. What we know best is that these particular traditional techniques have been around for five thousand years. There is no doubt that our artists have fully mastered this particular technique.

And, the artists at the YouFine factory have innovated this technological innovation. Among them, we use silica sol technology. This method helps ensure that the statue looks beautiful. Especially for top-level sculptures, after a long time of use, there would be no white spots on the surface of the sculptures. As a new result, YouFine’s traditional lost wax sculpture could have a long-lasting aesthetic.

Realistic Clay Models:

A realistic clay model would ensure the fidelity of a bronze realistic clay model. In particular, our artists learned to carve clay models of large dog sculptures from an early age. They were then able to sculpt the dog’s expression and appearance details 100% to life.

You could clearly see how real this dog clay model is. And, during the clay model sculpting process, our artists modify and adjust the details according to the client’s request. We absolutely respect the aesthetic concerns of our clients. Of course, during this process, our artists would also give appropriate advice to clients. We are in awe of sculpture and artwork.
