“I was hoping that Dulcie would ask for a really nice birdhouse, a bath, a really nice bench,” she told the BBC.
Debbie added: “She said that her spirit animal is a bear.
“A bear represents being brave and being fierce and being strong, even though sometimes you may not feel like it.”
She said that Dulcie was still on a small treatment, which would continue into the new year, but added that 2026 would be a chance for her to be a “normal child”.
Mr Watson created the sculpture within a few hours in Dulcie’s garden with wood donated by the nearby Apley Estate.
“There is very little process, way less than anybody would ever hope for,” he said.
“I’ll turn up and the lump of wood is in front of me, I’ll envisage it in my head and that’s it, I just cut lumps off with the chainsaw until it’s the right shape.”
