Apple Whimsey - My Hero

My Hero by Apple Whimsey.   This fireman bear is dressed for the 4th of July.   He is wearing yellow pants with suspenders, a red, white and blue print shirt.  He holds a dog in his arms (looks like a Bassett to me).  Both the bear and the dog are wearing fireman hats.    The dog holds a flag in his mouth.    Really cute and perfect for the 4th of July.   There is the original tag which shows the name "My Hero", the edition of 28/100.  It is dated 5/29/02 and signed by the artist Cindy Teyro.

This is in mint condition.  The only flaw I see are a few spots on the back of his pants.
