A Rottweiler Ambassador Guards a Scroll Sealed in Red Wax
A black-and-tan Rottweiler ambassador stands in a pink coat covered in golden embroidery, a white lace cravat at his neck and a gold epaulette on his shoulder. In his paw he holds a rolled scroll sealed with a blob of red wax, and his steady brown eyes tell you the message is safe with him. Around him, the wall is a pastel swirl of pale pink, gold scrolls and tiny roses, which makes the sturdy dog look even more dependable.
Rottweilers are loyal, confident dogs that often take their jobs seriously, whether the job is guarding the yard or carrying a toy to the right person. With early training, steady routines and plenty of exercise, they can be wonderful companions. They need guidance in meeting new people and animals, so socialization helps. As with all large breeds, talk to your vet about nutrition and joint health.
The red wax seal is a perfect small detail, a splash of bright color on the soft pink and gold. An ambassador's job was to carry important messages and to be trusted, and what could be more trustworthy than a dog with a face this steady? The artist kept the fur glossy and the pose calm, giving a picture of quiet duty and kindness.
Whatever message is inside the scroll, it is sure to arrive on time and with a gentle tail wag.
