Dog Sculptures

Chicago had their "cows" and now a town in Michigan has its dogs... From the Detroit News:


It’s all the rage in social circles. Blank fiberglass sculptures dressed up by talented artists, donated by philanthropic business owners to benefit designated charities. Chicago did cows. San Francisco pulled out hearts. And Birmingham, well, Birmingham went to the dogs.

“People in Birmingham love their dogs,” explained Stacey Kives-Bigley, the event co-chair, whose fiberglass dog was dressed up in pearls and a painted-on pastel frock that represents the style of clothing sold in her Birmingham boutique, Pink Envy.

An estimated 180 people crammed into the Corner Bar in Birmingham on Wednesday for the Dog Town preview evening titled Three Dog Night. It was the first opportunity to view a sampling of the artistically designed dogs before they are unleashed on the streets of Birmingham...


Unfortunately, the story shows several pictures of people but not of the dog sculptures. I wouldn't mind seeing a bunch of fiberglass dogs lounging around my town.
