Well, I love dogs, so this is right up my alley! I’m bummed I didn’t see the one in Brussels. I saw the Manneken Pis though. I definitely want to add staying in the B&B in Idaho to my list. It would be interesting to see how it’s decorated inside. And the story of Malchik in Russia just breaks my heart!

What a fun collection of dog statues! I can’t believe I have only seen one of these – Greyfriars in Edinburgh! I love the variety of poses and names for the dogs. I am sure lots of people stop and pose with the dogs. And to read the fascinating stories.

Truth? I am a cat person, but I have to say this is a fun article! Makes me wonder — how many cat statues are there in the world?

In reply to Maggie. Yeah how funny all the rumors about FDR and Fala and how his dog was a political pawn used to smear him.

I see the statue of Fala practically every day but I didn’t know the story behind it! I wouldn’t have guessed that FDR was a terrier guy. It was so fun reading the history behind these dogs!

I am forgetting names right now, but we saw the famous sled dog is Seward, Alaska and I would love to see the dog from the movie in Japan.

You made me tear up. What sweet stories of faithful pups. They are so special to us all. I love this post and I had no idea what Fido actually meant. I am going to start looking for dog statues wherever I go.

I’ve actually seen a couple of these. Enjoyed reading the stories behind them. The maps were also a nice touch!
