What better way to convey that than with the lovely words of the volunteers themselves\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Gus asked volunteers at The Kirkwood Hospice what volunteering means to them, and those heartfelt messages and drawings were then transposed onto the Snowdog sculpture. Once decorated, all 67 of the Snowdog sculptures were dotted around the Kirklees area and could be discovered until the beginning of November using a Trail Map &#8211; great fun for the Kirklees community.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23629\" src=\"https:\/\/naughtone.wpengine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/12\/11.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naughtone.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/12\/11.png 900w, https:\/\/www.naughtone.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/12\/11-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/www.naughtone.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/12\/11-768x192.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In November, the Snowdog sculptures went to auction to raise money for The Kirkwood Hospice.
