:teehee: it'd be interesting to learn something of the artists ... companies or individuals ?

The first i remember of this type of sculptures was the Moose in Toronto :cool1:

Forgot about these 2 in the main part of the Eldon Square shopping centre

Jen - I understand an app is available for download - for a fee - showing the location and details of each. It has raised £2700 so far. There are 61, not 60 dogs, the 61st having escaped to a village in Kielder Forest

:hi: peppi . I saw your map with the dog sightings , they're certainly spread around the area . I wonder how many people are off to Kielder to track down the 61st :) Dog Twitchers :thinking: :dog1:

Could you accidentally hitch one up to the back of the chair :wink: Or , you could rig yours up as the 62nd Posted Image

Jen - someone must have had the same idea as you. Tyne Tale Dog was there this morning, and this afternoon he has gone!! His plynth is still there, but no doggy :(

Anything you want to confess to :girlygiggle:

I doubt anyone would actually steal one to keep for ever ? I bet it'll turn up somewhere rather like the gnome sagas of the past :cool3: ....... Where do you reckon :)

Possibly he has gone to Kielder to visit his friend!

Or am I barking up the wrong tree!

:greatpic: PeppiB. I love those snow dogs, they are brilliant, I wonder where the missing one went? It's a bit large for someone to steal surely.

Maybe there is an official reason. Unless it has gone to Barking :lol:

Not sure if Lizzy was referring to the place in Essex or my mental state

Went out looking for 4 this afternoon and only managed this one

Posted Image

It is actually on the Quayside and is probably closest to where I live, but being a blind as a bat male I hadn't noticed it. It is on the opposite side of the road away from the river, and tucked up a side street adjacent to Tesco

I couldn't find the ones at the station, and couldn't even find the location of the other one I was looking for. Met 3 dog spotters on the way home and they told me where the ones are in Central Station - actually on the platforms and not outside or in the foyer where I had been looking. We met at the plynth of the missing Tyne Tail Dog. They were disappointed it wasn't there, and told me of others that had been stolen. Modern society

Another couple of brilliant ones. :cool: What a shame someone is stealing them. God knows what they are taking them away in. Then what do they do with them, not easy to hide.
