Prairie Dog Christmas Ornament Merck Family's Old World Christmas **New for 2008**
Made of mouth blown glass and hand painted. Delightful little prairie dog sitting on its hind legs.
The Prairie Dog is named for its habitat and warning call, which sounds similar to a high-pitched dog's bark. Native to the grasslands of North American, it digs its own burrow and lives in large colonies called towns. Social and engaging, it is a member of the squirrel family.
