This sculpture in front of the Giles County Public Library (Pulaski) shows two dogs reading a book. The larger dog is up front, completely laid out on his stomach with his back feet sticking straight out. His head is leaning forward and his front feet are holding the book. The smaller dog is in back, sitting up, with his head tilted to the left and his ears straight up at attention. The dogs are mostly gray in color, with a white face and dark mark from their forehead a little down between their eyes.
