Take notes, recyclers — this artist is doing it right.

Artist and designer Nirit Levav fashions life-sized dog sculptures out of recycled bicycle parts. Using mostly bike chains, the creations look surprisingly pet-able for a collection of old metal.

In a post on BoredPanda, Levav wrote that her sculptures were an attempt to "capture the dogs’ gentleness and sensitivity... despite the use of scrap metal."

From Rottweilers to Dachshunds to those little tiny dogs with long beautiful hair, the artist has managed to turn metal fragments into a wide variety of different breeds.

All of Levav's sculptures are available to purchase on her Etsy store.
