This stick was carved from the limb of a dogwood tree in Sussex Co. Virginia. Dogwood is great for making walking sticks because it's very very strong, but light weight.

Bart's dog Brandy (a Visla) looks exactly like this, right down to the color, including her nose. So he should buy this, and pay your thousands of dollars.
