This is a remix of Ben Wittbrodt's great scan of the husky statue at Michigan Technological University, which can be found here:

I cleaned the model up a bit in Meshmixer and made it watertight for 3D printing. The model in the pictures was printed with Sainsmart Woodfill PLA at 0.15mm layer height. I wiped on Old English Scratch Cover furniture oil (that's what I had lying around) which darkened it up nicely and made it look "woodier."
6/2/2023 UPDATE:
To possibly make this easier to print, I've added a "v2" version, which has the dog and the rock base separated. Supports should be easier to remove if the parts are printed separately. If printing the single piece version, I recommend using Tree supports in your slicer. In either case, check your Support Top Distance--I set mine to 0.2mm. Increase your Support Overhang Angle to the largest you can get away with--mine is set to 60°.
