Cloverdale-based Pete fabricates tiny "junkyard dogs" by brazing together lugnuts, wheel studs, cotter pins, horse shoe nails, screws, and more. Each assumes a distinctively canine pose, and some're fitted with springy tails that wag vigorously when flicked, unless you surgically remove their nuts.
