Whitey-the-bear vs. dog


There is a recurrent theme in the doll and toy repair field?
That would be patients who have arrived having suffered a mauling by the family dog!

This is Whitey.

He got seized upon by a canine and has significant facial injuries.
He is missing an eye. His remaining eye is broken. A significant amount of his fur fabric is missing. He is going to need fur grafts to repair this damage.







The best way to address extensive injuries like Whitey's is to work from the inside and so his head comes off.
















Then his head starts getting dismantled..
In the left lower corner is a piece of fur that will be used for fur grafts.















Now we have Whitey's head pieces ready to put back together.
His whole left face has been replaced with the donor fur. His head gusset piece has been patched with what was left of his left face.














Pieced back together and ready to go back on his body.......
