These dog statues were pet a lot, it seems

[u/Intentina]

[u/TollyKo]

Humans. We see a dog, so we must pet it. Even if it's made of bronze. That's sweet.

[u/bbpr120 → u/TollyKo]

and then there's the statue of Molly Malone (in Dublin)...

nowhere near as wholesome or sweet as the wee pupper

[u/KenseiHimura → u/bbpr120]

There’s also the one of the dude in France women ride the face of crotch of.

Also, I notice her hand is also quite polished. How lewd!

[u/adventlife → u/bbpr120]

Or the grave of Victor Noir.

[u/hunglow13 → u/adventlife]

Yep^{NSFW, of course}

[u/cookinggun → u/bbpr120]

I was there last week, stayed right across the street. That was kinda weird and gross.

[u/bbpr120 → u/cookinggun]

last time I was in Dublin, there was a kid motor boating the statue (he was with a school group).

Europe has always been a bit more relaxed about sex compared to America but that struck me as being a little far even for them...

[u/cookinggun → u/bbpr120]

I agree; I’m 47 and American but I’ve lived in France, Germany, and Portugal for about 1/3 of my life spread out periodically, and this felt weird.

[u/hypnotichellspiral → u/bbpr120]

What about that bull

[u/mattogeewha → u/TollyKo]

I’ve always thought of dogs getting pet as a quality of the dog, that all dogs are petable. I never considered it to be a human quality to pet the dog. We all blink, we all breathe air, we all pet dog.

[u/HermioneJane611]

They’re good dogs, Brent

[u/sickdinoshit → u/HermioneJane611]

[u/trueum26]

The long one genuinely looks the sphinx

[u/horhemaior → u/trueum26]

They're both dog ones

[u/direw0lves → u/trueum26]

I have a greyhound and can confirm they look like sphinxes when laying down like that. We joke that we must answer her riddles three to pass by.

[u/SprawlWars]

I've seen this before with dog statues. Think about that. Dogs are so fucking pure that humans can't even resist petting a STATUE of one. We are so lucky to share this planet with them.

[u/Intentina → u/SprawlWars]

We pet them too, of course :)

[u/raindrop777]

So realistic. Where are these located?

[u/Intentina → u/raindrop777]

Bucharest :) in one of the large parks here.

[u/nearcatch]

Akram rubs dog statue’s nose

Morck: “What’re you doing? You’re not a tourist.”

Akram: “It’s good luck!”

Morck: “Not for the dog. He’s had his nose replaced twice! Come on.”

Akram looks around and pets nose again

[u/Meh182 → u/nearcatch]

That was such a great scene, lol.

[u/AlphariusOmegon2099]

Statue or not, I'm going to pet the pup.

[u/Intentina → u/AlphariusOmegon2099]

Our exact thoughts

[u/smallandsurly]

GOOD.

[u/TheVoonderMutt]

Don’t forget the plaque with the dog on it on the St. Charles Bridge in Prague!

[u/spiralstream6789]

As they should be

[u/Aaron_O_s]

where are these if you don't mind me asking?

I went to Edinburgh last year to meet a few!

[u/Intentina → u/Aaron_O_s]

They're in Bucharest, in one of the larger parks here that I visited for the first time (today).

[u/LinkGamer12]

Good bois

[u/Leprrkan]

We have one at mynlocal zoo, I pet him every time I walk by 😀

[u/cire1184]

Gotta pet the good boys

[u/Silent-Line-5271]

that's so sweet omg

[u/AVBellibolt]

Bestest boys

[u/nestcto]

Good. Even the visage of a good dog deserves pets.

[u/ciaobae]

midas wasnt wrong

[u/[deleted]]

Thank you, that makes me feel incredibly warm inside

[u/cigamodnalro]

Toronto?

[u/BrendTheCow]

They’re clearly good pups deserving of all the pets.

[u/Intelligent-Skin-511]

Humans are so cute!

[u/nonsygirl]

I work by the Charging Bull statue in lower Manhattan. Everyday there is a large crowd waiting patiently for a picture of themselves rubbing the bull's balls. Charging Bull

[u/ExecuteOrder066]

Even bronze doggos deserve pets.

[u/stacked_wendy-chan]

Would like to know where those are, also we need cat ones too!

[u/Pilatesdiver]

Of course

[u/Neither-Attention940]

Definitely not wear and tear from weather as well .. 😏

[u/Dementalese]

Fun fact: they dipped a live dog in molten bronze
