ALASKA

This is a character called Alaska.  She is an original concept from an Etsy customer.  Alaska is fashioned to be like Everest from Paw Patrol.  She is a gray Huskie with her outfit being shades of blue instead of shades of pink.  I was asked to bring her to life in plush form.  I hope that I did her justice.
