In Mene's work , the dog is the loved and pampered animal , studied and represented more than all the others .
If hunting is the axis of his work , the dog is its constitutive element par excellence .
In animal sculptures , Mêne is the artist who has left us the most models of canines , all perfectly treated in a realistic manner , and represented with an artistic truth and anatomical rigor which will not weaken over the years .
