His Master’s Voice Statue - Nipper. Nipper (Bristol, 1884 – Kingston upon Thames, 1895) was a Jack Russell Terrier who became famous for being depicted in Francis Barraud’s painting *His Master’s Voice*. *His Master’s Voice* is a brand of records, gramophones, and radios. The logo features a small dog who actually existed. Because of his habit of nipping at the fingertips of unwary customers, the dog was nicknamed “Nipper” (pincer). He would calm down only when Francis loaded the phonograph to let him hear his master’s voice. Nipper Dog Material: Bakelite and celluloid resin, 1960s
