Ancient marble statue of a hunting dog on a background of Carpathian mountains, Peles Castle, Sinaia, Romania. The dog is about 70 cm tall. Perhaps it is a breed of dog that has been used at the castle, perhaps it is an unknown dog, but in appearance, it may resemble a Rhodesian ridgeback

Seven Italian Neo-Renaissance terrace gardens have been laid out around Peles Castle. Here are many different statues of Carrara marble by the Italian sculptor Romanelli. Among other things, a statue of King Carol I at the main entrance, but also lions, fountains, urns, stairs, this dog and other decorative objects.
